Event Description

REACH for Uganda is committed to creating healthy, educated, and hope-filled communities in rural eastern Uganda. Our cohesive programs function as building blocks that give both our students and these communities their best chances for sustainable successes.

Through our programs, REACH can be an agent for sustainable transformation. We believe that our dedicated students and these vibrant communities can accomplish amazing things and hope both to inspire and strongly support the brightest vision for their future!
