NUDF is a passionate, volunteer-driven charity, founded in 2007. We have already accomplished a lot – we’ve built safe drinking water wells serving over 100,000 rural villagers in Uganda and trained them to maintain the wells in our first four years, but we have big goals and bigger dreams!

Do you share our passion for the work we are doing to deliver life-changing help to the rural villagers of Northern Uganda – help designed to strengthen their abilities to build better futures?

Sponsor a Project
The average cost to sponsor a well or buy goats are listed below. If you don’t have the entire amount to sponsor a project at one time, based on your request we will save the money and allow you to accumulate the funds until there is enough to sponsor one of the listed projects. We encourage you to work with your co-workers, school, extended family, local church, friends and neighbours or organize a community fund-raising drive to help reach one of the following sponsorship levels:
If you are sponsoring a well, you have the option to name the well. Perhaps you would like to name it in loving memory of someone special in your life.
$2500 – This is the cost of a well. This will serve a community of up to 2800 people.
$100 – This will buy 3 goats – Goats are used mainly for meat and a source of income through the breeding and sale of them.
$100 – This will buy 3 beehives. Each hive produces an estimated $70 worth of honey per year.
