PARTNERSHIP
Nothing here was built alone
Eight permanent homes, water and electricity to every household, an organic garden, a meeting hall — and now an academy and clinic on a new acre of land. All of it came from partnership: a young man from Kakindo, a non-profit an ocean away, and a village that picked up the tools itself.
WHO WE WORK WITH
The partnership behind the village
Ubuntu International
FOUNDING NON-PROFIT PARTNER
Co-founded by Pato Banton and Antoinette “Rootsdawtah” Hall. Raises and stewards the funds, tells the story internationally, and holds the project to the Ubuntu philosophy: I am because we are.
Edentia International
IMPLEMENTING ORGANISATION
Registered by Kiiza Wilbroad and Pato Banton to operate in Uganda and internationally. Carries the housing, academy and clinic work forward on the ground.
Kakindo community leadership
LOCAL ACCOUNTABILITY
The project lead identifies the households in greatest need, verify them on site, and witness every handover so the homes stay with the families they were built for.
Local building teams
CONSTRUCTION
Ugandan brick moulders, masons, carpenters and roofers. 100% of the labour is local — every shilling spent on building also becomes local income.
01
Corporate & foundation partners
Fund a named cluster of homes, the food forest, or a wing of the academy. You receive a written scope, a build timeline, photo and video reporting at each milestone, and an end-of-project statement of spend.
02
Faith & community groups
Churches, mosques, temples and community associations adopt one household or one classroom and walk with it — from the first brick to the day the family or the children move in.
03
Schools & universities
Twin with the Ubuntu Learning & Leadership Academy: pen-pal classrooms, shared curriculum projects around sustainability, and equipment for the library and computer room.
04
Faith & community groups
Solar installers, water and sanitation engineers, agronomists for the demonstration farm and food forest, medical suppliers for the clinic, and legal or accounting support pro bono.
HOW WE WORK WITH
What every partner can expect
—
Every partnership names a specific, physical outcome — a home, a classroom, a water tank, an acre of food forest.
—
Local first: labour, materials and leadership come from the community wherever possible.
—
Reporting at each milestone with photographs, names and figures.
—
No family is displaced, charged rent, or asked to repay. The homes are given freely and permanently.
—
Partners are welcome to visit Kakindo and Ibanda and meet the households themselves.
