UGA Irish Project

UGA Irish Project is a Carlow based charity, The UGA Irish Project has been supporting Bbaale Landing site, a remote village on the shores of Lake Victoria In Southern Uganda, since 2013.

The community now has the benefit of clean drinking water, an eco sanitation block, twice monthly visits from a doctor, a fishing boat and a piece of land to grow vegetables. We are hoping to buy a second fishing boat for the community and also help them start a pineapple farm.

The charity has also built a ‘temporary’ primary school which has 5 classrooms, a Kitchen, a lunchroom, 3 toilets, and a fenced playground. It employs 5 leachers and has over 80 pupils.

Your donations are greatly appreciated. Every cent goes to Uganda – we have no offices, no staff, no salaries.

Every year a group of volunteers travel to Uganda to help support the various ongoing projects. They pay for their own flights and accommodation and fundraise for the charity.
