ACT has grown tremendously over the past ten years and each day we are closer to the goal of self-sustainability for our partners in Muko Sub-County Uganda. To do this requires the generous support and donations from many caring individuals. If you are interested in supporting ACT, you can donate to one of the following:
ACT General Donation
As with most nonprofits, the majority of our donations and grants come to a specific program. While it is wonderful to have these resources to manager the programs, we also have more operational needs and different priorities from time-to-time. An example is building our endowment fund!
The ACT Resource Center
ACT’s Resource Center houses the offices for the paid ACT Ugandan staff. In addition, it has a training room, the Community Library and a storage room for the handcrafts. There are always needs for maintenance of the building as well as the electronic equipment for the staff and the solar power system.
HANDS - Helping Agricultural New Development & Sustainability
ACT Staff and Volunteers work to develop and improve the capabilities of the local, subsistence farmers by the use of demonstration gardens, educational seminars, and hands-on assistance with their own gardens.
HEAL - Health is Elemental to All Life
ACT recruits volunteer Health Promotion Workers from all seven parishes; trains them in facilitation skills to conduct a dialogue with their fellow community members, and provides ongoing support, encouragement and resources for the community to implement their action plans.
Maverick Leadership Scholarships and HONOR Scholarships
Maverick Leadership Scholarship
A scholarship supporting promising young leaders who are unable to cover their own vocational or university education costs. ACT wants to provide Uganda’s next generation of leaders.
HONOR Scholarship
This Scholarship is a way for young people who have a great desire but lack the financial means to attend school. Through HONOR scholarships, donors provide support which allows these students to attend school and to learn about new possibilities for their future.
HONOR Scholarship Fund
Donors contribute to the education of primary and secondary students in Muko Sub County. These contributions make it possible for students to attend the boarding schools and receive an education. Many families cannot afford to send their students to school.
MUSIC - Muko Uganda String Instruments for Children
Through MUSIC, ACT envisions developing a community-based, performing string orchestra combining the traditional orchestral works of the Western world and the tribal and popular works of Africa, representing our partnership and providing a skill for earning wages
Uniquely Uganda Handcraft Program
Over 40 women in Muko are involved in this program making beautiful baskets, jewelry, and sewn items. The women earn wages for their wares from ACT which help to pay for their children’s tuition.
