Of course we could have had a much simpler name but the name our beginning as a small organisation working in the hall of a local church and the link between our name and our beginnings is vital. In the 1860’s A British Explorer and missionary called Samuel BAKER (later Sir Samuel) went to Africa. His explorations at that time took him along the river Nile and into the northern parts of Uganda inc
luding a place called PATIKO land. It is in this land that over 140 years ago he stopped slave trade in that region and built his historical FORT on that land. Sir Samuel Baker is well remembered by Africans for stopping slave trade in the local community areas thereby relieving trauma to many young people and women who would have been torn from their families. One of his greatest and long-standing achievements was his contribution to the establishment of Education of young people in Africa. Inspired by this fact, the first members of the organisation felt it appropriate to reflect his work and dedicate the projects to the values that he stood for; Those who are marginalised, disadvantaged and have lack of a voice as well increasing awareness and understanding amongst people of diferent faiths, cultures and social background.
