VOLUNTEER-ONLINE FUNDRAISING & DONOR ENGAGEMENT SUPPORT

Kind and humble greetings,

My name is Ronnie Remmy Mukwaya, Founder, Dream Bearer, and Volunteer Chief Executive Officer of Village Vision Care (VVC), a fully registered nonprofit community development organization in Uganda.

My journey in community service is deeply inspired by my late sponsor, Mr. Glenn Flaten, a Rotarian from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. He supported me like a father, and his love for service shaped my vision and calling. Guided by his generosity and by God’s direction, I established VVC in his memory to serve the vulnerable, uplift the forgotten, and bring hope where despair often lingers. Glenn is dearly missed; may his soul rest in eternal peace.

For your kind reference, here is his remembrance page:

Through VVC, we continue Glenn’s legacy by empowering disadvantaged communities across Uganda. Our programs include:

Health / WASH: Providing access to clean water, hygiene, and essential healthcare.

Education / Child Support: Ensuring children can attend school and reach their potential.

Livelihoods & Skills Development: Equipping youth and mothers with skills for sustainable income.

Environmental Conservation: Protecting natural resources while supporting communities.

We stand with children living with HIV/AIDS, children with disabilities, street children, orphans, struggling single and young mothers, and elderly people without relatives to care for them. Every action, contribution, or connection helps us restore dignity, build opportunity, and create brighter, sustainable futures.

With utmost humility, I kindly reach out to ask whether Village Vision Care (VVC) might be considered for your support or partnership, or whether you could graciously connect us to the right channels for international causes (International funding or collaboration).
