URF Kampala Chapter
Uganda Rural Fund Kampala Chapter was launched in June 2009 by Ugandan young professionals and university students. These young people were inspired by the work URF was doing for the less privileged.
Goal
To inspire young Ugandans to pull together our talents and expertise to build up our communities by promoting the cause of URF and reaching out to wider constituencies around Uganda.
