Buyuki Adopt-a-Village Project

The Buyuki Village Council is located approximately 30kms from Kampala. It is located the famous Luwero triangle that suffered the bush war ushering in the Movement government some 20 years ago. Buyuki is estimated to have 1,440 people, 160 households with an average of about 9 persons per household and 213 adults in total. The main source of livelihood is subsistence agriculture, which includes potatoes, upland rice and cassava.

This project seeks to provide basic elements of food security, clean water, and increased health to Buyuki.
