Integrated Rural Development Foundation (IRDF) is a Community Based Organization (CBO) registered with Kamwenge District Local Government Registration Number: 0910/11. Registered in 2011, IRDF aims at empowering communities through training and sensitization of the poor. Our headquarters are at Bihanga Sub-County, in Kamwenge district, south western Uganda. With the alarming levels of poverty, manifested with high levels of enviromental destruction, unemployment, high levels of vulnerable children, mortality and infant deaths, we design tailored projects to address these community challenges, through charity, training, skills development and nutrition programs. In addition, our portfolio of programs has expanded to include refugees in our outreach owing to the influx of refugees in our project areas. We implement approaches that improve co-existence of refugees and host communities.
At the Integrated Rural Development Foundation (IRDF), we empower rural communities through sustainable initiatives in education, health, water and sanitation, environmental conservation, entrepreneurship, and agriculture.
We promote environmental protection through sustainable practices like reforestation, waste recycling, clean energy adoption, and eco-friendly agriculture for a healthier planet.
We empower locals through skill-building workshops, literacy programs, and vocational training, equipping communities with knowledge and tools to improve livelihoods, foster innovation, and drive sustainable development from within.
We conduct outreaches by mobilizing teams to rural areas, providing essential services like health camps, education workshops, and skill training, while engaging communities to identify needs and co-create sustainable solutions.
