Reach the Children UK The projects are based upon coordinating appropriate requests from in country with the volunteers available.

Reach the Children UK was registered as a children's charity in 2004 to provide under privileged and impoverished children in Africa opportunities to become self reliant by strengthening families, neighbourhoods and communities. Each year, Reach the Children UK organises volunteer-funded expeditions to countries in Africa to do various service-orientated projects working with and for the children most affected by HIV/AIDS. They are generally 10 to 12 day expeditions and involve lots of hard, but rewarding work with the schools, orphanages or organizations that have requested our help with their projects. These can range from installing water storage facilities to painting classrooms, or teaching life skills such as, sewing, welding, first aid and oral hygiene to the children. Volunteers that have been part of previous expeditions have said that they have seen the life changing effects on the children they go to serve but also on themselves!

Rural parts of Uganda, safe and sustainable fruits such as local mangos, banana and pineapple are grown using organic, chemical-free methods that protect both the soil and the people who eat them. These grandmas rely on traditional practices like intercropping, composting with banana leaves and animal manure, and water-retention trenches to keep the land fertile and resilient to climate change . These fruits are usually harvested by hand at peak ripeness, carefully selected to avoid bruising, and carried in woven baskets to the factory. These grandmother between the ages of 60 and even over 100—take on the role of preparing the harvest.

They peel bananas with practiced speed, slice mangoes into thin strips, and wash fruits in clean, with fresh running water in the factory.

These women, who make up a large share of Uganda’s agricultural workforce and food preparation traditions, pass down techniques that emphasize cleanliness, minimal waste, and respect for the land, ensuring that each fruit remains both safe to eat and sustainably produced for future generations.
