The Joanne Foundation supports initiatives of the Ndegeya community to better their living conditions. Our support aims at creating self-reliance and financial independance for the poorest part of the population. The initiative of the activities come from the people themselves. The Joanne Foundation helped a few families to set up a store and a vegetable garden. Other families were helped to set up a small piggery, which will help them to provide for their livelihoods.
