KUMI COMMUNITY FOUNDATION
We help children with disabilities in the impoverished Teso region of Uganda by funding nourishment, orthopaedic and plastic surgery in Kumi Hospital, mobility items (such as wheelchairs) and education. We help their families by building houses for the homeless, providing safe fuel-saving stoves and helping parents (especially mothers) to generate an income. We help others to help themselves.
