Gather For Children is a Community Based Organization in Mityana, Namabale/Namukozi, which supports women to farm and feed their children by providing the land, equipment and other necessities.
The organization was started by singer Iryn Namubiru in 2006, using her own land, and is run in partnership with the Namukozi West women’s group.
Gather For Children’s mission is to assist residents, including the elderly, in caring for the vulnerable children of Nambale/Namukozi.
In the short term, the organization is achieving its objectives through supporting members to farm available land. In the long term, the vision is to build a community center that can provide the infrastructure to house more developmental programs.
