Who we are
R.E.A.CH (Reaching East Africa's Children) helps to educate and care for vulnerable children in Uganda. Our philosophy is that 'all children should have a childhood' and that 'education is no weight to carry.'
We are proud of our minimal overheads and publish details of all the charity costs so our donors can be reassured that their money is being managed and spent in the most effective way.
We operate through 'Trusted Representatives' in Uganda who identify the need and manage the projects on our behalf. Whilst our primary focus is education, we also fund a number of small projects which we hope will become sustainable in the future.
