Support the work
Give where it does the most
Your gift goes to a refugee-led team that has already turned past donations into kilns, water filters, and a seed bank.
Before you give
UCF is a Ugandan community-based organization. Right now, gifts run through the campaign platforms below and are personal gifts, not tax-deductible. We are working through vetting for a tax-deductible channel (GlobalGiving) with our partners; when it opens, this page will change.
