Welcome!

Sebastian Wanzama-Piro, Director,
Global African Village

Welcome, all of you global citizens. As an all-volunteer nonprofit organization, Global African Village, its Board of Directors, volunteers, and supporters are very glad to have you join us.

Everything seems to be global these days: the environment, trade, and political matters, just to mention a few. At Global African Village, we are not waiting for the world to change. We need your support now to supplement our efforts to assist the sick, the hungry, the very young, and the elderly in eastern Uganda.

Our primary goal is to assist the needy so they can sustain themselves. Otherwise, some will die prematurely, and others may end up at our doorsteps, an experience that can be traumatic and stressful.

We are pleased to announce our Amazing Grace Campaign to raise finds to build, furnish, and staff a health center for the Bagishu people. We invite you to support this very important endeavor.

So count your blessings now by sharing, caring, and enlightening others.

Thank you for your kindness.

What is Global African Village?

Global African Village, a nonprofit organization, is working to alleviate the abject poverty that affects thousands of children, the elderly, and the sick every day. Our current focus is assisting the Bagishu people of eastern Uganda (see Fact Sheet) with three primary projects: child care, health care, and better access to water. As the need may arise in the future, we may extend our services to other needy African villages.

Global African Village is a registered charity in Ontario, Canada (# 17 46 06 1). We are also incorporated as a nonprofit in the State of New York, and we have 501(c)(3) nonprofit status in the US.

We are an all-volunteer organization. With no paid staff and no office, we have very few expenses:

 

As you can see, we are able to accomplish our goal of using the bulk of our funds to assist the impoverished Bagishu people of Uganda.

We can be reached at globalafricanvillage@gmail.com.
