Our motive
Travel changes the people who go and the people they meet
Verdoro is a Kampala team, and the Verdoro Charity is part of how it works: with every trip booked, 5% of our proceeds go to it.
Our focus is on the people who need it most: rural communities, young mothers, people living with HIV, the elderly, orphans and persons with disabilities. We try to give everyone equal opportunities, so that no one is left behind.
When you choose Verdoro, you become part of that work.
Where it goes
The four programmes
-
Extending clean water
We aim to bring clean, safe water to remote and underserved communities, improving health and changing daily life.
-
Building homes
Wherever possible, we work to provide shelter for people who have none, offering safety and dignity.
-
Empowering communities
Through agricultural programmes and savings schemes, we help vulnerable people improve their living standards and build a sustainable future.
-
Supporting education
We provide scholastic materials to orphans and less privileged children, particularly in remote areas, so they have the tools to learn.
Along the way

What we aim for
What the charity aims to do
These are the goals Verdoro has set for the charity. They are aims, not results, and we do not claim to have reached them.
- To reach a million children with scholastic materials every year.
- To bring clean water to 10 to 15 communities every year.
- To support people living with HIV in every way we can.
- To engage persons with disabilities, including with tailored trips for this group.
- To support a million less privileged single mothers and 500,000 elderly people every year.
- In future, to operate several lodges and resorts that put customer service, people and place first.
