About R.E.A.CH
How R.E.A.CH works
R.E.A.CH helps to educate and care for vulnerable children in Uganda. We believe all children should have a childhood — and that education is no weight to carry.
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.' Our main role is to raise funds to support the education and care of vulnerable children. This is done either by sending funds directly to trusted advisors, or by funding the initiation and development of small, self-sustaining community projects which will in time raise funds to support children within their own community.
We raise funds in the UK
Funds are raised in the UK via regular sponsors and one-off fundraising events. We are proud of our minimal overheads and publish details of all the charity costs so donors can be reassured their money is spent in the most effective way.
We work through Trusted Representatives
We operate through Trusted Representatives in Uganda who identify the need and manage the projects on our behalf. No one involved with the charity takes a wage or claims expenses.
We invest in education and sustainability
Our primary focus is education, but we also fund a number of small projects which we hope will become self-sustaining — investing in skills for vulnerable families so they can work towards lifting themselves out of poverty.
