The projects

SYPO has started three projects in Uganda; all entrepreneurial and bottom-up. The NGO started in 2003, with the "Yoghurt project". In this project, SYPO donated pregnant Friesian cows to women willing to take in an orphan in their families, and we constructed a yoghurt factory in order to provide the local Ugandan aid organisation Pat the Child with an independent and reliable income. In later years, we started several other projects. You can read about SYPO's largest project: a microfinance project that provides small loans to women in the Mukono district, in order to help alleviate their poverty. Another project, MediStructures, uses an innovative strategy to develop medical care in the region, working together with the government and investing in the initiative and commitment of local people. Finally, you can volunteer in Uganda through our project Counterpart Travels.
