Welcome to CAPAIDS Uganda

Where communities are the solution and the story.

Somewhere in Northern Uganda, a young woman named Akello (Not Real name) is pressing fabric through a sewing machine for the first time. A year ago she had nothing no school fees, no skills, no road out of the cycle her family had lived for generations. Today she is one of dozens at our Home of Hope in Lira: learning a trade, healing from trauma, building a future she now believes is possible.

Since 2007 we have worked alongside Uganda's most marginalised communities not parachuting in, but of the communities we serve delivering integrated programmes across five pillars:

Education Social Protection Livelihoods Health Humanitarian Response
