Welcome to AFFCAD
Action for Fundamental Changeand Development
Combating Ugandan Poverty Since 2009
AFFCAD is a youth-focused nonprofit organisation that was founded in 2009 by four young people living in Bwaise in Kampala, Uganda. They wanted to transform living conditions in Kampala’s poorest areas by empowering children, youth and women through Economic Empowerment, Education and Health Programs.
Our Mission
We aim to provide quality education and skills to young people in vulnerable urban communities in Uganda.
Our Vision
We envision sustainable and dignified lives for young people in urban communities in Uganda.
Our Core Values
We promote service beyond self; teamwork; integrity and accountability; and creativity and innovation.
Our Programs
Economic Empowerment Program
The Economic Empowerment Program allows AFFCAD to increase sustainable employment opportunities for disadvantaged youth including PWDs and refugees living in low-income areas of Kampala
Education Program
Through the Education Program, AFFCAD provides quality formal education opportunities to Kampala’s vulnerable children and youth.
Health Program
AFFCAD’s Health Program aims at increasing access to comprehensive and quality Sexual Reproductive Health Information and services in Kampala’s unplanned areas
Our Strategic Objectives
AFFCAD is able to carry out these interventions by fulfilling four main strategic objectives:
- To empower youth with vocational and business skills
- To increase access to quality education for vulnerable children
- To increase young people’s access to quality inclusive health care and wellbeing
- To strengthen organizational capacity and development to sustain operations
Across all three of its programs, AFFCAD also strategically pursues ‘Advocacy’ by engaging with stakeholders at all levels. This enhances our partnerships and collaborations, optimises resource mobilisation, and strengthens our institutional capacity.
