A report to be proud of
Imagine a society where everyone cooperates, where everyone is curious – both about each other and about new knowledge – and where everyone believes that tomorrow will be better than today. Without exaggerating too much, this comes close to a description of ‘UPLIFT land’, at its finest.
At the same time, life in this tiny part of the world is so ‘marginal’, economically speaking, that daily challenges are more than enough, without letting worry about the increasing unrest in the outer world add to the burden. Here, faith in tomorrow is a local matter, a shared hope, and hope must be kept alive.

John Charles Onyuthi in memoriam
Three days ago, John Charles died, aged just 44, after a sudden and brief illness.
It came as a shock to the entire UPLIFT family in West Nile. Everyone knew John, including thousands of villagers he did not know but who had seen and heard him in action at the many annual “UPLIFT Graduation Ceremonies”.
Rings in the water – Collaboration and Synergy
UPLIFT West Nile collaborates with the Uganda Nurses and Midwives Union (UNMU). Local midwives help with capacity building on sexual and reproductive health and rights, integrated in UPLIFT’s adult literacy programme.
