To improve the quality of life of children affected by poverty, conflict and disease by working in and with Families and Communities to enhance care and support through capacity building, research and information sharing.

Mt. Elgon Self-Help Community Project is a Non-Profit Community Organization supporting orphans and other vulnerable children in the context of their families and communities in Uganda. We work with families, faith-based and grass root initiatives to serve the orphans and vulnerable children. The project holds at its heart the well-being of children, especially those made vulnerable by effects of poverty, conflict and disease. We are building a system where ordinary people are brought together to paint the world in the colors that they would wish to see. We are consciously directing our energies and resources into initiatives that enable our potentials to be reached and tapping into people’s existing passion to make a difference.
