Urban – Rural Development Organization Uganda (URUDO-Uganda) is a non-profit, community-based organization (CBO) with no religious or political affiliation, founded in 2009. We were officially registered in 2010 with the Lyantonde district local government. Our establishment was a direct response to the ever-increasing disparities in development between urban and rural areas across Uganda.
URUDO-Uganda was initiated to actively support the government of Uganda and the private sector in bridging this crucial gap. We strive to reduce poverty, combat the spread and impact of HIV/AIDS, mitigate urban pollutants and poor garbage disposal, and foster equitable resource distribution. We achieve this by establishing collaborative, demand-driven integrated development programmes designed for long-term sustainability.
At URUDO-Uganda, we implement integrated development programs designed to address critical needs and foster sustainable growth in rural communities. Discover how we're making a difference:

Recent Causes
Your support transforms lives and empowers communities. Discover our most pressing initiatives where your contribution can make an immediate difference.

Empower a Girl Through Education
Many vulnerable girls in rural Uganda face barriers to education. Your donation provides school fees, learning materials, and mentorship, empowering them to overcome cultural challenges, avoid early marriage, and build a foundation for a self-reliant future.

Vocational Skills for Unemployed Youth
Out-of-school youth often lack the skills to find employment. We offer hands-on training in carpentry, tailoring, mechanics, and IT, giving them market-ready skills to start businesses and secure jobs, transforming their hope into tangible opportunities.

Nature Conservation & Tree Planting
The alarming loss of natural forests and wetlands threatens our future. We mobilize rural communities for large-scale tree planting and sustainable land management, creating vital "sink tanks" for urban pollutants and restoring ecological harmony.
