Uganda Village Project

Uganda Village Project advances sexual, reproductive, and maternal health for underserved women and adolescents in rural Uganda through education, services, and life-changing medical treatment.

Uganda Village Project (UVP) is a US-based 501(c)(3) and Ugandan NGO that has worked in rural Uganda since 2003. We currently operate in Iganga, Bugweri, and Kiryandongo districts, running community health programs that address gaps in access to care for underserved populations.

Our work centers on two core programs. Through our Obstetric Fistula Surgery and Reintegration program, we support women who've suffered this devastating and often stigmatizing childbirth injury, connecting them with surgical treatment and helping them rebuild their lives afterward. Our Adolescent Reproductive Health program reaches thousands of young people each year with education and outreach designed to improve health outcomes and reduce stigma around reproductive health.

UVP's programs are funded by organizations including the Fistula Foundation, the Bushrod H. Campbell and Adah F. Hall Charity Fund, UNFPA, and ACORD. We're a lean organization, with a small Uganda-based team leading day-to-day program delivery and an international board providing governance and strategic support.

We're now looking to grow our board with people who bring relevant skills and a genuine commitment to our mission, and who want to play an active role in shaping the next chapter of UVP's work.
