OUR PHILOSOPHY: IF WE CAN HELP, THEN WHY NOT?
We’re a small group of UK professionals who support the awe-inspiring work of communities in developing areas of Uganda. We’re a diverse bunch, but we mutually recognise the privilege afforded to us by living in the UK. So why not use that privilege for something great.
If we can help others, then why not…
Since 2022 we’ve facilitated women’s empowerment workshops, teaching over 700 women & girls about female reproductive health, and have provided thousands of reusable sanitary products,
We’ve achieved this through you! Crowdfunding our way to more empowered communities.

WHAT’S ON?
2026’s ‘Sustainable Supply’ programme
In August 2026 the Elgon team will be visiting our partners In Mbale and Jinja, Uganda, and rolling out our ‘sustainable supply’ programme.
In collaboration with local leaders the programme will provide sewing machines, materials and training so local women’s groups have the skills and resource to supply their own communities with reusable sanitary products. Together we can overcome preventable barriers to education and employment.
We travel to Uganda every other year, working with local leaders to support empowerment projects and help drive ongoing change.
In advance of our visits we crowdfund our work.
