    Long Term Support.

    We don’t believe in short term solutions. We support children, families, and communities over many years, including access to clean water, solar energy, and after school programs.

  • Our Strenght.

    Not Your Typical NGO.

    22stars was built from the digital nomad world. Remote first. Global network. Lean structure. Instead of spending on offices and overhead, we focus on what matters: education, community, and long term impact. Because every euro should create real change. Less overhead. More children in school.

    Local Leadership.

    Led from Within. Supported Longterm.

    22stars is not built from an office in Europe. It is built in Uganda. Susan Laker and Aidah Wafula lead our work on the ground, working closely with families, schools, and communities every day. Together with Stella Airoldi, who has been traveling between Europe and Uganda since 2009, 22stars was built as a bridge between local leadership and global support. We don’t run projects from afar. We build them together. Locally led. Community shaped. Globally supported. Because real impact comes from within. 🤍

  • Real Impact. Real lives.

    Your support creates measurable change in Uganda. Every number represents a child, a family, a future.

  • Why They Chose to Support a Child.

    "I met Stella and immediately felt how real and impactful her work in Uganda is. Sponsoring a child became something personal. Meeting Angel and her family made it even more meaningful. Education is a birth right, and through 22stars I can give that opportunity to a child who deserves it."

    "I had supported other organizations before, but it always felt distant. With 22stars, I can actually follow a child’s journey and see the real impact. Knowing that my support helps Odongo stay in school and build his future makes all the difference."
