Where We Work

Partner Communities

Global Village Connect works through long-term partnerships with specific communities in Uganda. These are not short-term aid projects — they are relationships built over years of shared work, trust, and accountability.

Other Partner Areas

Buyanga Campus

A school and farm campus where GVC supports student education, sustainable farming, and community programs.

Namutumba District

Home to multiple GVC business training cohorts, the Zohar Salon cooperative, and community grant recipients.

"We don't run programs from a distance. Every dollar you give helps the greatest number of people in the most life-transforming way."
