Transforming communities…

for sustainable solutions - one village at a time.

We’re a fast-acting nonprofit, partnering with local leaders to see sustainable transformation in Ugandan communities.

Welcome! We are Transformed Communities International (TCI), dedicated to helping people who live in impoverished, rural areas of Uganda. Our vision is to promote Transformed, Empowered, Healthy, Food-Secure Communities through the power of God’s love, education, and sustainable programs. We invite you to get to know us in the pages of this website and join us in our work.

TCI helps local leaders identify problems in their schools and communities and work together to design and implement poverty alleviation strategies. Our programs promote solidarity among community members while enabling them to pursue their own development with sustainable infrastructures. Find out what’s happening now on our blog.

but together, we go far!”

Our Areas of Impact:

Poor families believe that through education they can disrupt the vicious cycle of poverty that has engulfed them from generation to generation. By supporting Alpha Omega Secondary School and the local primary schools in hard-to-reach communities, we aim to improve their capacity to make education accessible to the poor. This brings hope to these families.
Targeting farmers and their families, TCI will train farmers in sustainable and integrated farming strategies, to look at farming as a business enterprise that requires technical and management skills. As a start, all participants of TCI training and activities will be encouraged to start their FAITH gardens.
Our livelihood program will enable women and men as well as young members of poor families to engage in income generating activities that will provide alternative sources of income to the family. We will employ strategies that promote savings, solidarity and skills in running micro-enterprises.
Since July 2019, our capacity building work has included selecting and training volunteer staff, setting up the TCI-Uganda Office, and helping leaders identify problems and find solutions. Through training leaders, educating the next generation, and partnering with other organizations, we’re working to develop resources that enable growth in the area!
As we maintain very close relationships with our Ugandan community leaders, emergency needs are quickly brought to our attention. During the Covid-19 pandemic, we learned of the immediate need for food and medical care, and were able to respond quickly. And during the 2022 famine crisis in Karamoja we were able to rally meaningful support in a matter of days! Since then we have supplied food to about 5,000 people while developing sustainable gardening practices.
To transform communities, health issues must be addressed. Our team is educating communities about the common diseases rampant in Uganda, teaching about nutrition and hygiene and providing testing for Malaria, Typhoid and HIV as well as addressing depression which has become all too common especially among the youth since the covid pandemic. Currently we are addressing severe malnutrition in Karamoja.
