What We Do

We empower communities for more sustainability.
Our impact provides communities with basic needs such as food, water, health, job opportunities, training to do small business and be able to provide the families, and most importantly education that helps them to have it all. We also give a helping hand in case of crisis, weather it is natural as after tsunamis or man-made as in case of refugees.

Stories

We started a new income-generating project for the community ladies in 2 villages Wakisi and Mbiko, which is producing bar soap as it is widely used in Uganda for laundry and washing utensils. We organized training for around 20 ladies in each village on how to start their own project, how to prepare the product which is bar soap in this case, how to price their product, and how to choose and enter the market. The ladies started first producing the soap under the supervision of the training for a couple of batches then now they can produce it themselves.

Kalenzo Josephine is 37 years old, a divorced lady, and has 2 children. She used to work as a teacher but then she had a stroke and got paralyzed since then. Now what she can do is make crafts using environmental resources such as banana leaves which are popular in Uganda and we support her and other ladies by giving them a space to work and by trying to sell their products. You can find the products in our shop on the website and Facebook page. You also can help her support her family by buying her product!

Rashida is a sweet young lady, an orphan of both sides father and mother. She doesn’t have even a distant relative to take care of her. Now she is living with a foster family and she attends Sofraa school. She is in P5 now. You can support Rashida and other orphans at the school in different ways, check them out here.

Volunteers

Traveling to Uganda was one of the best decisions I have made. Not only did I treasure everything I take for granted, but also I had fun with some good memories made.
The most astounding of all was the sheer joy of all the kids at school regardless of the conditions. While interviewing some, asking what they wish for, the answers were striking for how insignificant my so-called problems are.

Yusuf Sherif

One of the best experiences of my life. Volunteering with Sofraa was the best decision I made because it added a lot to me and made me see and feel things I used to only watch on TV. There are people who still live without water or electricity. There are people who still dream of a glass of clean water. An experience that will make you rearrange your priorities.
