About us

Integrated Villages is a registered not for profit community-based organization in Uganda. Founded in 2011 and registered in 2014 under the NGO/CBO 2010 and local Government act 1997.

Mission

Our mission is to give families life opportunities to live dignified poverty free lives.

Vision

We envision Communities with empowered families living in a productive and peaceful environment

The Problem

The unenabling conditions and socio-economic constraints that surround the everyday lives of under resourced people creates the vicious cycle of poverty around them. This makes them more vulnerable to the ever changing social, economic and environmental changes in society.

The Solution

We are providing tools, skills and opportunities to women, men and young people in rural communities to meet their closest needs such as food production, income generation and access to clean energy to achieve their economic goals and aspirations in an inclusive and sustainable way.

What we do

Our community driven programs empower people from low-income families in rural areas whose livelihoods are threatened by socio-economic issues and the impacts of climate change to achieve economic independence, food security & nutrition and access to affordable renewable energy options.

Sustainable Agriculture

We promote sustainable farming among communities that we work with. Farmers are trained in improved crop and animal husbandry practices that enhance farm productivity and incomes. Farmers are learning how to manage soil fertility, conserve water and increase yields in both food crops and cash crops. High value crops like coffee are also promoted for income generation

Women Empowerment

Many women in villages especially single mothers and those who have no access to land are very vulnerable in society. We are supporting women to start Community savings groups, small businesses that require little capital and equipping them with soft skills like crafts making and others

Environment Conservation

We work with farmer communities to equip them with knowledge and tools to adapt to climate change and also mitigate the impacts of climate change in their communities. This is done through increasing tree cover, use of renewable energy like solar, energy saving stoves among others.
