Change

The community of Kamuda has graduated

In 2021, the community has transitioned from sponsorship to self-sufficiency and World Vision is no longer on site. Local people and organizations have been equipped to take over and lead the community's development - and that is something to celebrate!

Program Details

With the help of your generous and loving support, life in Kamuda has transformed. Children and families are much stronger now. The community has met its goals, they have graduated to self-sufficiency and World Vision has left the community to help another one. Your support will have a lasting impact for years to come.

Context

The Kamuda community is located in the eastern part of landlocked Uganda, beside Lake Kyoga. The landscape is a mix of wooded savannah, pinkish soil, and grasslands. There are two rainy seasons and two dry seasons.

Traditionally, the people in this area are agro-pastoralists, with groups of households bound together under a clan. There are two main ethnic groups in the area, the Kumam and the Iteso, although there is smaller representation from other ethnic groups as well. Most families live in a simple dwelling with a grass-thatched roof. Many of the community's 23,900 people are deeply impoverished.
