About us

RACE  is a Community Based Initiative that started way back in 2015 with the plight of transforming the disadvantaged livelihoods in Uganda to live a better life. Our main offices are situated in Jinja district, which lies 80 Km East of Kampala city, Uganda's capital working with the rural poor communities in our country.
Uganda as a developing country is among other problems, afflicted by Civil wars, hunger, economic stagnation, extreme poverty, low literacy levels, and the AIDS pandemic that continues its deadly foray into every village. This calls for innovative actions that are designed and implemented to bring about change. RACE is actively pursuing this at the grassroots.
As development partners, non-governmental organizations are proving to be more effective at grassroots where government hands cannot reach. RACE is one of the few grassroots organizations based in Uganda offering educational, medical, and nutritional services to the rural communities as well as helping to facilitate their social, spiritual, educational, and economic well being.
We derive our support from the valuable services of volunteers, friends, sympathizers, well-wishers, Christian and non-Christian resources as well as our dear partners in-country and abroad who offer financial, moral, educational and material support to facilitate our activities.
The founder of the initiative is much concerned about the increasing poverty levels, the high prevalence rate of HIV/Aids, the increasing number of orphans without any assistance, high unemployment, lack of respect for human rights, and high illiteracy levels within the community. This was realized after carrying out a baseline survey in the Busoga sub-region and Northern region as a sample project in August 2013.
