How To Get Involved
Sponsor a Student's Education
Cover school fees, uniforms and supplies for a student at Hadassah Primary or Semei Kakungulu High School. Your monthly support means a child can focus on their studies instead of wondering if they'll have to drop out or go hungry.
Fund Sustainable Programs
Help families grow their own food and gain financial independence through farm training and resources. You provide seeds, tools and know-how that turn basic farming into reliable income, breaking poverty cycles that stretch back generations.
Support the Tobin Health Center
Most families in rural Uganda can't access healthcare. Your gift to the Tobin Health Center funds medical treatment, preventive care, and maternal health services for thousands who have nowhere else to go.
Corporate Partnerships
Your company can partner through employee giving, matching gifts, or project sponsorships. Corporate support brings major resources while giving your team the chance to back a community that shows what resilience and hope look like.
Legacy Donations
Include the Abayudaya in your estate plans so this community keeps thriving for generations. Legacy gifts fund long-term needs, letting them tackle big projects like expanding schools, upgrading the health center, and building economic programs.
Community Partnership
Build a lasting bond between your synagogue and this Jewish community in Uganda. Partnerships might include holiday celebrations together, student letter exchanges, fundraising drives, or coordinated visits that strengthen connections across continents.
