latest visit to Uganda and our newest project, the focus of your generous

Poverty and poor nutrition, plus the proliferation of AIDS in Uganda have
dramatically impacted the people of its cities and villages.
One such rural village has become the focus of the work of African Baobab.
The village, like so many others
in Uganda, offers few resources to its residents. In addition, the majority of the
burden of farming, cleaning, cooking, childcare and education falls on the
shoulders of the women residents.

Experts like Kofi Anan, head of the UN and economist
Jeffrey Sachs say that the way to improve a society is to improve the education
of girls and women. Alleviating the plight of ‘Gender Inequity’
is African Baobab’s primary mission.
Using gestures, smiles and digital cameras to communicate, African Baobab
works with a local organization to improve the well being
of children and their caretakers.
