Who We Are

Transforming lives through rights, resilience, and sustainable development.

Passion Aid Foundation Africa (PAFA) is a Ugandan non-profit and humanitarian organization established in 2015.

We advance human rights, gender equality, mental wellbeing, and sustainable development for vulnerable children, youth, and women. Through evidence-based programming, policy advocacy, strategic partnerships, and community-led approaches, we address the root causes of poverty, exclusion, violence, and inequality.

Together with our partners and supporters, we are building thriving communities where children are protected, women are empowered, youth are economically self-reliant, and every individual has the opportunity to live a healthy, productive, and dignified life.
