Rooted in community. Guided by humanity. Roots Humanity Foundation is a charitable organisation operating in Uganda, with a purpose to empower communities and improve lives.
Our purpose
Start with people.
Build with community.
The foundation’s purpose brings together compassion for people and a commitment to sustainable community development.
Communities bring knowledge, relationships and strengths of their own. Our approach is guided by listening, inclusion and meaningful participation in decisions that affect people’s lives.
