ABOUT US

We are Peculiar Love Foundation

Welcome to Peculiar Love Foundation – A Royal Priesthood! (1 Peter 2:9) 

We are a community-focused NGO driven by the belief that every person deserves the opportunity to thrive. Founded on principles of compassion, dignity, and sustainable development, we work alongside communities to address their most pressing needs while building capacity for long-term self-reliance.

Our Mission


To empower underserved communities through holistic development programs that address immediate needs while building long-term capacity for self-reliance, dignity, and sustainable growth. We partner with communities to provide integrated support across education, health, economic empowerment, and social development, ensuring that every intervention creates lasting positive change that extends beyond our direct involvement.

Our vision


A world where every community thrives with dignity, opportunity, and hope—where no one is left behind in the journey toward a brighter future. We envision communities where children grow up with access to quality education and healthcare, where women are empowered to lead and contribute meaningfully to society, where families have the resources and support systems they need to flourish, and where the most vulnerable members of society are embraced with compassion and given pathways to independence and fulfillment.

Where we work


Serving Rural and Urban Communities Across Uganda

Our work spans diverse communities, from remote rural villages lacking basic infrastructure to urban settlements where families struggle with poverty and limited opportunities. We focus primarily on areas where need is greatest and where our integrated approach can make the most significant impact.

Rural Communities: We work in villages where access to clean water, healthcare, and education remains limited. Our programs include well drilling, mobile health services, school support, and agricultural training that helps farming families improve their livelihoods.

Urban Settlements: In densely populated areas where families face unemployment, inadequate housing, and limited social services, we provide vocational training, family support services, youth programs, and emergency assistance during crises.

Areas of Focus: Our work concentrates in regions where poverty intersects with other vulnerabilities—areas affected by conflict, communities with high rates of orphaned children, regions where cultural barriers limit girls' education, and locations where geographic isolation compounds existing challenges.

Community Partnership Approach: Regardless of location, we work only where communities invite us and commit to partnering in their own development. Local ownership and participation are essential to everything we do.

Our story


Born from Compassion, Grown Through Community

Our organization began with a simple observation: communities have incredible strength and potential, but often lack access to the resources and opportunities needed to realize their dreams. What started as informal assistance to a few families in crisis has grown into a comprehensive development organization serving thousands.

The Beginning: Founded by individuals who witnessed firsthand the challenges faced by vulnerable families—single mothers struggling to provide for their children, orphaned children with no support systems, elderly people forgotten by society, and young people with dreams but no pathways to achieve them. The founders recognized that sustainable change required more than charitable giving; it demanded genuine partnership and comprehensive support.

Learning and Growing: In our early years, we learned that effective community development requires addressing multiple needs simultaneously. A child might need school fees, but if their family lacks food security, education becomes secondary. A woman might want to start a business, but without access to healthcare, productivity suffers. This understanding shaped our integrated approach.

Community-Led Development: As we matured as an organization, we discovered that the most successful programs were those designed and implemented in partnership with community members themselves. We shifted from being service providers to being facilitators of community-led change, providing resources and expertise while communities provided leadership and local knowledge.

Expanding Impact: Today, our programs span multiple sectors and serve diverse populations, but our core commitment remains unchanged: we exist to walk alongside communities as they build the futures they envision for themselves. Every program reflects lessons learned from years of community partnership and a deep understanding that lasting change must come from within.

Values in Action: Throughout our journey, we've been guided by principles of respect, transparency, accountability, and unwavering belief in human dignity. These values shape every decision we make and every relationship we build.
