Empowered Citizens Enjoying and Contributing to a Free and Developed Uganda.
To be a professionally run Not for profit organisation implementing innovative, impactful and sustainable development programs that contribute towards achieving Uganda’s Vision 2040.
Our Philosophy is that development (socio-economic and political transformation) cannot happen unless and until the local communities, institutions, leaders and citizenry take their future into their hands. Secondly Camel Communities recognises that Government has the overall responsibility to provide education, health, water, sanitation and to prepare communities to tackle the emerging challenges and or opportunities of the 21st century.
We believe that our role is to compliment Government (and her agencies) in a manner that caters for increased legitimacy of local institutions, increased ownership of development processes, increased impact and sustainability of development projects. We believe that our role, and the role of other NGOs like us, is to only facilitate or enable the desired change. The journey starts with the mind set and self-belief of the local institutions and citizens to cause the desired socio-economic transformation.
