WHo We Are

We are team of social workers who formed a non-profit organization to work towards addressing the socio-economic challenges in Uganda especially in rural communities. We are focused on implementing sustainable interventions that help vulnerable groups such as youth, women, men, girls, children, PWDs and elderly transform their lives through empowerment programmes. We believe that skills development is one of sustainable ways of empowering these key social groups in the communities.

The organization is committed to bring about sustainable change by providing vocational skills that are aligned with what the labor market demands. Our organization firmly considers that enhancing human capital for Uganda’s most vulnerable populations, particularly the youth who make up the majority of the population, is essential to attaining inclusive growth that accelerates poverty reduction.

Child Protection

Child abuse is still a major worry, especially for the boys and girls from disadvantaged families. Children who experience violence often experience long-lasting negative impacts on their physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual growth. We enable families and other significant players to collaborate in order to build a safe environment that looks out for and supports all children, especially the most vulnerable. Our interventions are geared toward helping kids by providing them with social assistance and educational opportunities.

Gender Equity and Women Empowerment Project (GEWEP

As a result of poverty being the major cause of Gender Based Violence (GBV), gender inequalities, discrimination and any other violence against women. LADE Community Organization under GEWEP enhances participation of both men and women in economic development activities. This is achieved through sensitization of communities, provision of social worker extension and outreach services. We also partner with other service providers to set up campaigns for behavioral change in communities and institutional actions on GBV prevention and gender equity

Enhancing the participation of PWDs and Elderly persons

Attitudinal barriers prevent persons with disabilities and elderly persons from full inclusion in society. This brings about stigma and has an impact on these individuals and their families. As LADE Community Organization, we ensure PWDs and Elderly full participation in society by making sure they have the same rights as everyone else. We also ensure they are able to make informed choices, pursue personal goals and treated equally as other members of the society.
