We are an independent Community initiative of local community of Sindila Subcounty Bundibugyo district, Western Uganda, border district with the Democratic Republic of Congo(DRC).

Since many years back from the 1990s, our area had not yet stabilized due to the wars and other natural calamities like floods and landslides as the district is mountainous.

In Bundibugyo alone we experienced series of war and terrorist attacks from Allied Democratic Forces(ADF)which led to loss of many lives in our communities leading to high numbers of orphans and refugees,

Being the border district of the war-torn country Democratic republic of Congo(DRC)where there are a lot of wars and disease, many Congolese flee their country to the neighboring districts with ours the first point of contact, and thus a lot of flux of refugees needing our assistance to be safe,

Global Light Community Initiative was created in order to assist the communities affected by war and natural disaster like creating of temporary medical camps, which temporary help refugees and other communities affected, by providing medical assistance ( first Aid),Temporary shelters, food, water, identifying and registering of refugees after handing them over to the nearest UN Refugee camp for better facilitation. This is done through volunteers in the medical field, local community, religious leaders and politicians with coordination of local Aid groups.

Additionally, we coordinate with other NGOs in the area to assist on settlement of orphans, elderly and other stakeholders to assist many in need like education scholarships, vocational trainings for youth like tailoring, handcrafts and may courses that help them to make a better living with their dependents.

“ MY HOPE IS THAT WE WILL CONTINUE TO WORK TOGETHER TO MAKE OUR COMMUNITY ABTTER PLACE”
