Nasaru was founded in 2009 and it is a registered 501 © (3) tax exempt non-profit charity organization. The mission of Nasaru is to provide immediate poverty relief while looking to implement long-term sustainability solutions. Uganda is the site of our first endeavor – rebuilding and expanding the Nakifuma School for orphans and impoverished children. The school is providing housing, food, and e
ducation for over 4,200 children and orphans. For further information on Nasaru, go to http://www.nasaru.org
"The children, the future of these people, need a place that will provide them with the support they need to learn and grow, so that they are able to improve their own standards of living, which will allow them to help people throughout their own country. Nasaru’s goal is to implement innovative sustainable living solutions, such as ”green” energy technologies, rainwater collection, aquaponics, and sustainable architecture. We are starting at the Nakifuma campus, but if my dreams come true, our organization will eventually travel worldwide, bringing impoverished people the tools they need to succeed as a community by incorporating sustainable living practices. Nasaru needs the support of those with compassionate hearts, those who can’t ignore the fact that there are large numbers of people in our world who are suffering desperately. If we receive strong support from those who care, we can make a radical difference in the lives of those who are less fortunate. It was Mahatma Gandhi who said, “You must be the change you wish to see in the world.” I believe that people should work together, peacefully, to care for each other as well as the environment, and Nasaru’s projects are a good example of this philosophy in action."
