Now and Tomorrow Uganda is an independent, refugee-led organization that was founded in 2019 with the mission to support and empower the refugee community in Uganda. As a registered corporation with charity status. We are dedicated to fostering resilience and promoting self-sustainability among refugees.
Since 2019
We work with communities to support their initiatives in educating their children, generating incomes and food security for their families, and building structures necessary to make those things happen.
We work towards a day when all refugee children will be actively engaged in formal education programs that prepare them for a purposeful and fulfilling life and a day when communities have developed the capacity and confidence to control their futures.
