What We Do
Governed by a work-plan developed by the Executive Committee and approved by the General Assembly - uplifting communities across the Rwenzori region.
Our Framework
Five Thematic Pillars
Our work-plan is aligned to RWEFRA's mission, vision, and strategic objectives — contained in thematic areas within which most of our business is conducted. Members are free to suggest activities, pending Executive Committee approval.
RWEFRA has Calender year activities that fall within these thematic areas. Members are free to suggest what activity/ project can be undertaken, but will have to be approved by the Executive Committee. The main activities that have so far been mainstreamed in our operations are:
Welfare & Socioeconomy
Supporting scholastic excellence for future generations.
Health
Ensuring access to healthcare services and facilities.
Education
Supporting scholastic excellence for future generations.
Environment & Sustainability
Protecting the Rwenzori ecosystem for future generations.
Agriculture & Livelihoods
Empowering farmers and food security initiatives.
How We Make Impact
RWEFRA Sports Gala & Family Day
Every year, RWEFRA organizes a sports gala and family day. This is a platform where both members and non-members of RWEFRA come together, to meet each other, engage in physical activities that boost their health, enjoy all sorts of local dishes and foods, and showcase (market) what businesses they are involved in, including building business contacts and networks.
The Executive Committee decides whether to hold this Gala in Kasese or Kampala for purposes of inclusiveness.
Implementation of a “RWEFRA Project”
This is a project that has to be selected by members, based on the need of our community. It is through this project that we give back to community.
Previously, we have done:
- Humper project to support families affected by the Rwenzururu Kingdom/UPDF crisis
- Mattress Project to support all health facilities in the entire Kasese district with mattresses
- Scholastic Materials project to support all primary schools’ kids in Kasese district with books and other scholastic materials.
- Greening the Rwenzori planting of trees in the whole Kasese to protect the environment
RWEFRA Night
Every year, RWEFRA organizes a RWEFRA Night. This is an opportunity for members to shed off some fatigue, stress, and relax amidst tight working environments. Members, dance, club, and enjoy themselves.
The RWEFRA night is usually a climax of the ‘RWEFRA Project’ and the collections at the RWEFRA Night, support the project.
Involvement in Charity work
This is often done on an ad hoc basis, depending on the need and circumstances that obtain at a particular time. The Executive committee receives proposals and after due consideration, sanctions a charity project that may be priority.
By and large, these charity engagements include, for example:
- Humper project to support families affected by the Rwenzururu Kingdom/UPDF crisis
- Mattress Project to support all health facilities in the entire Kasese district with mattresses
- Scholastic Materials project to support all primary schools’ kids in Kasese district with books and other scholastic materials.
- Greening the Rwenzori planting of trees in the whole Kasese to protect the environment
