About Us
Fostering sustainable community development
Encomium 2020 is a non-profit organization whose main goal is to foster sustainable community development and enhance overall well-being by promoting resilience and improving standards of living, through addressing key areas of education, health, water and sanitation, and agriculture – areas that significantly impact community growth, resilience, and prosperity.
Our intervention programs are not just band-aid solutions but comprehensive strategies that lay the foundation for long-term well-being for we know that true progress comes from collective effort. Collaborating closely with local leaders in underserved communities, we create a nurturing environment where every individual can lead a dignified and prosperous life.
Encomium 2020 was established in 2020 as a Community Based Organization in Pakwach district, to augment community skills, abilities and knowledge through capacity building and to address the reality of most underprivileged Ugandans continuously living in survival mode—unable to focus on personal or community development due to unmet basic needs; to provide a pathway for transformation. Encomium 2020 is now a fully registered and compliant non-government organization that is operational countrywide, driven by a powerful vision, prioritizing the basic needs of every person.
We empower underprivileged communities and community members to
realize their full potential through holistic community transformation. By
focusing on education and skills development as the foundation, we integrate
access to health, clean water, and sustainable livelihoods, ensuring that no one
is held back by unmet basic needs.
