Support Ngombor's Sustainable Future

Ngombor Community Development Alliance (https://ngombor.org), in Uganda is working to create a thriving community hub in Nebbi District that supports sustainable and diverse agriculture and careers in IT.

We're working to build a permaculture model farm that long term will be a regional hub supporting other smaller community groups in Northern Uganda.

As part of Ngombor's mission we want to show that agriculture and technology, white collar jobs and blue collar jobs, city and country, don't need to be in opposition. We can mutually support each other, improving the biodiversity and resilience of the land, communities and individual careers.

We are stronger together.

Work is underway on our first building, we have the foundation and walls. While we are being cost efficient with materials (for example making clay on-site for mortar rather than concrete) we need international support to become a thriving Permaculture Model Farm.

Thanks to donor support, Ajolo, our on-site volunteer farm attendant has been able to move from a tent to having a ceiling and progress is under way to pour a concrete floor. Thanks to donor support, our on-site shelter is going from:

To:

We now have a roof, and some of the gables have been built.

Up next is turning the "pebble" floor into a poured concrete floor.

As we've matured our project (and I've seen just how self sacrificing folks are being) I've worked with the Ngombor Committee to create some revised fundraising goals. These goals will require a little less sleeping on rubble while members do their own fundraising over the course of this year and early next!

Work is underway to create a second GoFundMe that can focus on IT development, so that this one can focus on agriculture.
