how we operate...

Our organisation

The Kalama Your Friend CBO is organised around so called "Areas of Attention". The three areas, each of them headed by a dedicated officer and all of them lead by the chairman, are:

• Managing the organisation
• Taking care of the community
• Handling the formalities

Our mission, vision and strategy

It's our mission to" break the cycle of poverty for the local communities in Uganda.
Our vision to support this mission is to develop the community alongside six interdependant programs:

• food security
• infrastructure
• education
• health
• business
• weemanye

Our focus for 2025 is with food security, infrastructure and business. For each program we have developed multiple project plans, to realise the goals of the program.
Overall we continuously keep the focus on three priority projects. Currently those three are: developing our farmland (increase production and harvest), water management (drilling two wells to support the farm land and clean drinking water) and okutunga (in order to generate our own income).

Demonstrating our sincerity...

Next to these principles we have defined some principles that guide us with the approach of how we are carrying out all of our activities.
These principles are:

• structured

For each policy we have defined more specific principles, applicable to the Area of Attention.
