Get Involved
Since 2007, Thousands of People Have Answered the Call To Care
Schools, churches, businesses, civic organizations, neighbors, family and friends from all over the world have made it possible for CTCU’s small group of dedicated volunteers to make a big difference.
Like the First Congregational Church in Madison, Connecticut who galvanized their congregation to work on projects to raise and donate funds to provide access to clean and safe water for the people of Olegei Village. The addition of a village well has helped elevate their safety and wellness by:
-
Curbing the fatal effects of waterborne disease
-
Eliminating time spent walking for water so that children can return to school
-
Allowing villagers to begin investing their time in community development
Then they went on to do it again... 6 more times! That’s just one example of the enormous impact one community can have on another, even one that’s 7,000 miles away. All it takes is an open heart and a helping hand.

Become a "Twin"
Call to Care Uganda’s school “twinning” program is designed to help connect impoverished schools in Uganda with individuals and groups (schools, churches, clubs, families) in the US. By providing support to the school as a whole (vs. individually sponsoring children), the entire community can be lifted up to succeed and an ongoing relationship can be fostered. Learn More
Create Your Own
There are many ways we can all help the people of Uganda so let's brainstorm together. If you have something special in mind, let us know., we'd love to help coordinate with you.
It's a wonderful way to learn the value of helping others and make personal connections with children in Uganda.
Let's talk and figure out which program is right for you.
