Learning 4 Life Africa was set up to take on the running and development of interrelated projects in the Mubende District of Uganda initiated by Abingdon Vesper Rotary club in UK and supported by other international rotary clubs.
Abingdon Vesper Rotary Club has been involved in supporting the rural community since 1997 when it had its first small project providing basic agricultural tools to a women’s organisation. Since then, with financial support from a number of other international rotary clubs, schools and individuals, Abingdon Vesper Rotary Club has provided support in a number of different ways for the Mubende District.
In 2020 it was decided that to allow the projects to develop and evolve further, Abingdon Vesper Rotary club needed to create a separate entity. Learning 4 Life Africa was born with the continued involvement and support of Abingdon Vesper Rotary club and the wider Rotary International organisation.
Those running the projects in the developed world are all volunteers are not paid. Annual visits are made to monitor the various components of the project and all travel and accommodation is also at their own expense. As such all funds raised go to those who really need the help in Uganda.
There is a local coordinator and a team of Key Farmer Trainers who provide the hands-on local support and training to the rural farmers.
