LUTHERAN WORLD FEDERATION UGANDA

For Hope and a Future 

The Lutheran World Federation (LWF) World Service Uganda Programme has a proven track record of 45 years of service in the realm of humanitarianism. Through our programs, we tirelessly serve the most vulnerable populations, extending timely, compassionate, and expert humanitarian aid to those in the most inaccessible regions. We strive to alleviate poverty, resettle those displaced due to insurgency, and elevate the standards of living of both refugees and Ugandans.
