Rural Agency for Sustainable Development

The Rural Agency for Sustainable Development is based in Nkokonjeru, Uganda and envisions "decent life for all." RASD works to train local community members in technical skills related to agricultural practices, woodworking, masonry, welding, tailoring, and computer-use. Seminars on sanitation are also led by RASD staff; Nkokonjeru residents are shown clean and safe pit latrine designs and methods of water purification via WaterGard and ceramic filters. Donations to this cause will greatly improve RASD's ability to affect local change in Nkokonjeru, Uganda. Investments will provide more tools for RASD's workshop, allowing the organization to provide better training. Your contributions will also allow RASD to establish its own income-generating opportunities, like completing an internet cafe, manufacturing coffee shellers, making biofuel from jatropha (a locally available seed), and producing charcoal from agricultural waste.
