About Us

Imara Initiative

We are a national membership organization that connects and strengthens local philanthropy in Uganda. We believe a strong non-profit sector helps communities overcome socio-economic deprivation affecting children, youth and women.

Together with our members, we drive solutions to strengthen our sector and its impact.
