Trócaire's Work in Uganda
Trocaire has been working in Uganda for over two decades. Last year Trocaire spent €1.2m on our programmes in Uganda. Our work is focused on:
- Providing seeds, tools and training to enhance food production and productivity for families, enabling them to start rebuilding their livelihoods as they return home after years of conflict.
- Increasing community awareness about access to land, and protection of tenure through the provision of education, training workshops, and legal support.
- Providing psycho-social support & services to assist conflict affected families in rebuilding their lives after the devastation of violence and displacement.
- Helping communities to actively participate in local government decision making processes that affect their lives.
- Working with local human rights organisations to help young people to avoid gang violence, defend workers rights and protect women from violence.
- Increasing awareness of human rights issues, healthcare and HIV / AIDS prevention.
