AFID, the short for “All for Integral Development”, is a refugee-led and community based organization located at Rwamwanja Refugee Settlement in Kamwenge district in Uganda, since 2017. It is designed to contribute to tackle or address the most urgent and pressing needs of the refugee population and the host surrounding community (those who are extremely vulnerable).
As a group of highly committed and engaged persons with forcedly displaced background, we envision an inclusive and empowered society, in which none is left behind.
In order to reach our vision, we seek to enable a better future and a well assured well-being to the marginalized/extremely vulnerable people through quality and inclusive education, better livelihoods, agroforestry and economic activities.
What makes us More Responsive and Unique in our Work?
• The respect of our values and principles that put in centre the wellbeing of our community, and their keen participation at all levels or stages of activities, and the determination to improve, etc.
• A matured and adequate response obtained through our diversity and high sense of inclusion, adaptability and partnership.
• Our highly motivated proactive and flexible team, great efforts and adaptability that facilitate the interaction with our beneficiaries and other stakeholders.
We fetch our strength and do know how from our diversity and our non-discrimination actions; recognizing that our members or primary stakeholders may have diverse missions, backgrounds, disparate resources and distinct needs. Decisions undertaken on behalf of AFID are made with the greatest respect and support of these differences.
We encourage and are transparent, and share the truth and results with our stakeholders
We intend to be a nimble, flexible and dynamic team, able and willing to adapt to the evolving needs of community.
Education: We value the robust exchange of knowledge, ideas and information, both among and between our members and our stakeholders.
