Priorities for the general public

Inform

Let you know what is going on in the lives of people living with disabilities in Uganda. To give you an accurate description of their daily lives, their struggles and triumphs, challenges and successes.

Involve

We want to include you in the cause! It is very easy to find a charity and then write a check. But we know your caring doesn't end there. We want to give you options for involvement. There are lots of ways to give, through donations of money or products, time or services. We also value your feedback. What can we do to make the process easier? More real? Even more valuable to you? We know that you care - we want to include you in the process, to make it as real and personal a process as it is for us.

Inspire

We want to inspire you to action. We know that in our 24hour, multi-channel society you are probably barraged with "calls to help". And increasingly it gets easier to just change the channel. But we know how easy it is to help. We know how fulfilling it is, and how good it feels. That is why we make is as easy as possible. We want to inspire you to see the world a little differently - to recognize the "global village" that we all share. We want to inspire you to care... not just for people in Uganda, but for all people everywhere.
