Our goal is to help the Sephardi Jewish people of Uganda build proud and fully functioning communities. The main community is called Kahal Kadosh She’erit Yisrael (KKSY), which means “Holy Congregation Remnant of Israel”, and there are several sister congregations, all located in the area around the town of Mbale. Besides helping them to grow their religious identity, our goal is also to help these families to become economically and socially sustainable. For this purpose, SJUA works closely together with Jewish Response Uganda (JRU), which coordinates agricultural innovation, medical aid, vocational training, and education in general.
Of course, Jews do not exist in the vacuum, and naturally, many of these projects will not only benefit our Jewish brothers and sister, but also their non-Jewish neighbors
