Since 2020
Background
NJO Foundation Africa, named in honor of our founder Ndugu Joseph Opio (NJO), was initially rooted in the unwavering support of local churches and compassionate individuals. Evolving from our humble beginnings, we now extend our outreach beyond borders, seeking global support to amplify our impact on the lives of orphans, impoverished families, widows, disabled individuals, and other underprivileged communities.

- Increase sexual health education and awareness.
- Increase counseling and mental health education.
- Serve as advocates for greater protection against gender-based violence.
- Empower women as leaders by equipping them with essential skills for family and community development.
- Provide basics like food, clothing, clean water, healthcare, shelter, house hold, and hygiene items to those in need
A catalyst for positive change
We aspire to set an example for positive steps and solutions, leveraging various platforms to call upon individuals, churches, organizations, and governments to join us in our mission. Currently, our primary focus lies in facilitating access to education within our communities. Through strategic funding and support, we empower children in their educational journey and guide older individuals who have veered off the academic path to attend technical schools.
Mission
To enhance the lives of marginalized populations, promote social justice, and address the systemic challenges that hinder progress.
Vision
To create a thriving and equitable Africa, where every individual has the opportunity to reach their full potential.
Education as a path to development
Witnessing the transformative power of knowledge, we recognize that education is the key to community development. By reducing redundancy in occupations and minimizing instances of theft and time wastage, education becomes a cornerstone for sustainable progress. Our initiatives extend beyond conventional boundaries, fighting illiteracy within often overlooked community members, including orphans, street children, disabled individuals, widows, and impoverished families.
Our impact in Uganda and beyond
Currently operational in Uganda, NJO Foundation Africa envisions extending its services to other African countries in the future. Through strategic partnerships and unwavering commitment, we aim to replicate our successful education focused model to uplift communities and create a ripple effect of positive change.
