Our Mission.
We Support Children and Families in Uganda Through Education and Empowerment

Education First.
Education is at the heart of everything we do. We help children stay in school and build the knowledge, confidence and opportunities to shape their own future.

Local Leadership.
Our programs are led by people from the communities we support. They understand the challenges, know the families and help shape solutions that respond to what is truly needed.

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 Strength.
Not Your Typical NGO
22STARS grew from the digital nomad community and continues to be supported by a global network of sponsors, partners and fundraisers. Our small, flexible international structure allows us to work closely with locally led teams in Uganda, respond to changing needs and focus our resources on meaningful, lasting impact.
Local Leadership.
Led from Within, Supported Long-term
Our work begins with the knowledge, ideas and leadership of communities in Uganda. Susan Laker and Aidah Nambozo lead the work alongside children, families, schools and local teams. The Dutch foundation connects their work with sponsors, funding and international partnerships. Together, we develop programmes shaped by local needs and strengthened through shared planning, training and transparent reporting. Locally led. Community shaped. Globally supported. 🤍

Impact Trip.
Experience Uganda With Us
“On my second visit to Uganda, the cooking workshops were once again one of my favourite experiences. The food is incredible, but what I love most is learning from the women, cooking together and all the laughter in the kitchen. I always leave with a full stomach and something new I’ve learned.”
— David Schmidt, Germany
