The Uganda Partnership
for Sustainable Development through Participatory Research
The Uganda Partnership (UP) is a Canadian registered charity dedicated to fostering positive and sustainable change in the lives of widows, grandmothers, and children in Uganda. Driven by the ethos of Participatory Action Research (PAR), including empowerment, advocacy, and collaboration, we recognize the challenges posed by HIV/AIDS and poverty among these marginalized groups.
Participatory Philosophy
From the very start, we have been guided by philosophies of Participatory Action Research, inspired by activists and scholars like Paulo Freire
Backed by Research
Our organization was founded as part of our Board President's PhD research and continues to be qualitatively & quantitatively research-based
Community Driven
Beyond community consultation, all projects that we support and pursue are initiated by community members
Adaptive, Responsive & Transparent
Our fundraising and project planning is always able to change in response to community needs
Our Partners
Reflected in our name, UP prioritizes partnership. We would not be what we are without the strength of our various partnerships. Learn more about these below!
