About US

Oiutu Foundation is an indigenous non-for-profit organization established and registered in 2021 to redeem, restore and rebuild the lives of women, men and children affected by contemporary development challenges like absolute poverty, insecurity and modern-day slavery in a manner that contributes to achievement of their holistic transformation and dignity.

Oiutu Foundation was born out of a burden to redeem Napak district which had suffered lots of development setbacks attributable to prolonged years of insecurity, poverty, and climate change realities. These disrupted livelihoods, social cohesion and human dignity especially of women and young people who have been forced to resort to street live in Uganda and internationally.

Founded by Three Ugandan passionate volunteer professionals, Oiutu Foundation has grown to a reliable and dependable institution envisioning a transformed society where human beings are free from all forms of social and economic injustices and absolute poverty”.
