More about Uganda 

 

WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED?

You can find us in the lovely, dusty, unique town of Gulu, Uganda.

WASN’T THERE A WAR IN UGANDA?

Yes. Northern Uganda is a post conflict zone, recovering from a war that lasted 20 years. During this time, a rebel group known as the Lord’s Resistance Army (LRA) was known for attacking civilians and abducting children for use as soldiers or sex slaves. Many people were relocated into internally displaced persons (IDP) camps. Although the war ended in 2006, effects of the war are still apparent in the lives of many throughout northern Uganda.

HOW LONG HAVE YOU BEEN IN OPERATION?

Remnant began in April 2010. Learn more here.

DO YOU ONLY EMPLOY WOMEN?

Since the group we aim to help is a group of women, our beneficiaries are all women. However, we have a few men on staff in management positions. Read more here.

DO YOU ONLY EMPLOY CONGOLESE WOMEN?

We recently began working with Ugandan women as well as Congolese women. The Ugandan women we work have struggled due to the war in Uganda. Many Ugandan women despise Congolese women in Gulu; they view them as the women who stole their husbands away. Having a legitimate job changes the equation, but having to collaborate with Ugandan women changes everything. We are peace building on a small scale on a daily basis.

WHAT LANGUAGE DO THEY SPEAK?

Uganda is a multilingual country. Our beneficiaries speak Swahili, in addition to a few different languages common to DRC. Our staff members mostly speak English and Swahili. English is the official language of Uganda, but people who have not attended school do not tend to speak any English, and speak in languages native to their regions.

DO THE WOMEN LIVE ON SITE?

No, the women we employ are paid enough to make a living on their own. They can afford to support themselves and their children in their own homes.

WHAT ARE THE WOMEN LIKE? 

You might not believe it, but these women are the sassiest in all of Uganda. SASS FOR DAYS.

WHAT KIND OF PROGRAMS DO THE WOMEN ATTEND?

Please visit our Programs page here for more information.

CAN I VISIT YOUR OFFICE IN UGANDA?

Yes! We love visitors! Please contact info@remnantuganda.com to set up a visit.

WHY ARE YOU A NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATION IN THE US?

We are a 501c3 because more than anything, we care about the growth and development of our beneficiaries. Products are fun, but if our women are not learning and changing their lives for the better, we are wasting our time.

CAN I DONATE TO YOUR CAUSE?

Yes please! You can donate here.

CAN I MAKE A NON CASH DONATION?
