Vulnerable Ug Communities (VUC) was founded in 2017 by Kamya Martin Oscar and Waswa Charles, two visionary leaders passionate about empowering marginalized communities. Despite the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic, VUC launched its setup in 2020, starting with five pioneering communities.

Undeterred, they placed their trust in VUC's mission and began with modest savings, loaning, and ground projects. Under the guidance of five dedicated community leaders, the communities embraced VUC's holistic approach, which focused on sustainable development, education, and healthcare. Through sheer determination and collective effort, the communities began to flourish. Savings groups were established, small businesses were launched, and healthcare services were improved. The impact was palpable, with lives transformed and hope renewed. Today, VUC stands as a beacon of hope for vulnerable Ug communities, a testament to the power of collective action and the human spirit.
