What We Do?
URUDO-Uganda empowers the girls through education. An educated girls overcomes the cultural barriers that looked at girls as assets for marriage by the parents-girls for bride wealth – which denied them gainful employment and expose them to domestic violence in homes and subsequently poverty.
Man and the environment should be living in harmony and man should depend on the environment for survival in a more sustainable way for the present and future generations. However, this has not been the case given the global increase in population that has led to many natural forests and wetland areas being cleared for farming, industrial establishments, settlement and lumbering to meet the daily demands for food, goods and services for the global population.
URUDO-Uganda through the out of school vocational skills projects has restored hope to the unemployed hopeless out of school youth through hands on in various vocations such as tailoring, carpentry, welding and metal fabrication, computer practice and application, motor vehicle/motor cycle mechanics and salon practice with support from Gered Gereedschap in Netherlands for vocational skills project and SES Experts Germany for volunteers.
