ACT was born in 2003 with a partnership between Muko Sub-County, Uganda and Michigan. ACT is an ecumenical Christian partnership open to working with all people to enhance the spiritual, physical, economic and societal conditions in Uganda, as well as increase faith-in-action in our communities.
There have been many projects in this partnership including the purchase of an ambulance, the building of a solar-powered clinic and vaccine refrigerator, the purchase and renovation of the ACT Resource Center, an student scholarship program, a handcraft program for artisans in the villages, a music program for children, a health promotion program, an agricultural program, and partnering in the administration of a local high school.
Through ACT’s reputation in SW Uganda, the Peace Corps partnered with ACT, an Anglican Diocese and the Ministry of Health sought partnership with us for furthering their programs.
There is one registered NGO in Uganda and one in Michigan, each with a board of directors and teams carrying out the strategies of the partnership. Since then, through six programs, ACT Uganda has continued to meet the needs of Muko Sub-County and the greater Rubanda District in Uganda with 250,000+ community members.
