Our Story

Empowering communities, transforming lives.


Who We Are

Cedil Uganda is a social enterprise with a vision to uplift communities by providing impactful, sustainable solutions across multiple sectors, including education, healthcare, agriculture, and financial services. Since our founding in 2015, we have been dedicated to creating lasting change, particularly in underserved and vulnerable populations across Uganda. Our programs are designed to drive economic growth, promote social equity, and foster an environment of sustainability and resilience.

Our mission is clear: to empower disadvantaged groups, promote inclusive development, and contribute to the overall well-being of our society. We believe that by empowering individuals with the tools, knowledge, and resources they need, we can help them break the cycle of poverty and create a better future for themselves, their families, and their communities.


Our Journey

Cedil Uganda began as a small grassroots initiative with a big vision — to address the most pressing issues affecting communities in Uganda. What started as a handful of volunteers working on a few projects has now grown into a multi-faceted organization with a network of partners, donors, and supporters, all working towards common goals.

In 2015, we launched our first program focused on improving access to education in rural areas. We worked closely with local schools to provide educational resources, teacher training, and student scholarships. The success of this initiative paved the way for future expansion into other sectors.

Over the years, we have steadily grown, expanding our reach and diversifying our programs. We began integrating healthcare services, focusing on maternal health, childhood immunizations, and providing health education in underserved communities. In response to the increasing need for food security, we introduced sustainable agricultural practices, providing farmers with training on climate-smart farming and helping them access markets for their produce.

As our organization expanded, so did our understanding of the challenges facing communities. We recognized the importance of financial inclusion and launched microfinance programs to help individuals and small businesses access capital. Today, we continue to be a trusted partner in the community, working with local governments, NGOs, and the private sector to deliver high-impact programs that transform lives.


Our Impact

Cedil Uganda’s programs have made significant strides in improving the quality of life for thousands of people across the country. From our early days, we have seen firsthand the transformative power of education, healthcare, and financial inclusion. Below are some of the highlights of our impact:

  • Education: Over 5,000 students have received scholarships, educational materials, and mentorship through our educational programs, enabling them to pursue their dreams and secure a brighter future.
  • Healthcare: We’ve partnered with local health facilities to improve maternal and child health, reaching over 10,000 families with life-saving healthcare services and health education.
  • Agriculture: Our agricultural training programs have equipped over 3,000 farmers with knowledge on climate-smart farming techniques, improving yields and food security in rural communities.
  • Financial Services: Through our microfinance program, we’ve provided loans and financial literacy training to more than 2,500 individuals and small businesses, helping them grow and thrive.

These numbers represent just a fraction of the lives we’ve impacted. Our commitment to creating sustainable change continues to drive us forward, and we’re only just getting started. With the support of our partners, donors, and volunteers, we’re building a movement that’s changing Uganda for the better.


Looking Ahead

The journey of Cedil Uganda is one of continuous learning and adaptation. As we look to the future, we are committed to expanding our reach and deepening our impact. Our goal is to empower even more individuals and communities across Uganda, while also extending our programs to other countries in East Africa and beyond.

We will continue to focus on scaling our existing programs in education, healthcare, agriculture, and financial services, ensuring that they reach the people who need them most. At the same time, we will explore new areas where we can make a difference, particularly in the fields of technology, renewable energy, and climate change resilience.

Our vision is a Uganda where every individual has the opportunity to thrive, regardless of their background or circumstances. Together with our supporters, partners, and the communities we serve, we are working toward a brighter future for all.
