Bugembe Initiative for Development

Formed in 2011 with its base in Bugembe, Jinja District, Bugembe Initiative for Development (BID) is an action oriented community based organization dedicated to empowering women, youth and vulnerable persons through a holistic, socio-economic approach.

Diseases, literacy, unemployment, poverty, ignorance, wars and natural disasters in Uganda have resulted into situations of vulnerability and moral degeneration. The most affected people are the children, women, youth, and the elderly. Many current community initiatives fall short in coping with the ever increasing number of poor women, needy youths and vulnerable children.

BID Uganda was born out of the need to reach out to these neglected, forgotten, HIV/AIDS sufferers, orphans, abandoned street children, homeless, and those in extreme poverty within the communities and our society who are hurting in life.

Most of these vulnerable children around us have lost hope for their future without food, shelter, education lack of parental love, guidance and training. Above all their rights have been abused and denied the right to shelter good food, clothing, education and good health to have a better future.
