Zumar Foundation

TOWARDS HUMANITY

Welcome to

Zumar Foundation is East Africa based NGO, registered and compliant providing emergency relief, WASH, education, sustainable developments and seasonal programs to alleviate poverty and improve the livelihoods of the communities in Uganda, Kenya, and Somalia. Zumar Foundation’s main strategy is to bring together experience in quality, accountability, partnership and collaboration work to promote respect for the rights and dignity of the people to make life batter for community development and peace.

Who we Target

Zumar Foundation is a regional organization working in Uganda, Kenya and Somalia, in the three countries we work in the rural areas and with the hardest to reach communities because of the burden of poverty experienced in these regions.
Rural areas caught in chronic poverty traps, which face multiple and interlocking forms of disadvantage. Isolation, insecurity, weak economic integration, limited political leverage, and a challenging natural environment combine to produce high levels of risk and vulnerability.
The highest rates of poverty are often observed among those who are no longer directly involved in pastoralism, particularly those without livestock who depend on casual labor or petty trade in towns. There are also significant social inequalities within these local regions, particularly with respect to the rights of women, lower castes, and minority clans
