Who We Are

The Pay It Forward Foundation Uganda is a non profit organisation whose vision is to create a kinder and more humane world by teaching the idea of performing random acts of genuine kindness.

The goal of The Foundation is to spread the idea that anyone can, if they are willing, change lives by paying it forward with random acts of kindness. This concept underlies the idea that if someone helps you out, the best way of returning the favour is by helping someone else out in any other way hence creating a multiplier effect. The idea that it is good to be kind is not new; it has been a fundamental part of society for ages.

The mission of The Foundation is to provide;
• Shelter for the underprivileged classes in society especially orphans, street children and the homeless by building orphanages and homeless shelters across the country.
• Knowledge and Information to those with little or no access to it by providing educational materials and building public libraries, information networks and resource centres across the country.
• Access to Education by sponsoring students, pupils and adults who are willing to learn but are otherwise unable to.
• Inspiration and Motivation by establishing Mentor and Role Model programmes.

Anyone can be a member of this organization as long as they are willing to:
• embrace the idea of changing the world by being truly kinder
• uphold the values of The Foundation
• contribute to the running of The Foundation

Members of the foundation are encouraged to uphold the following values and pass them on in their daily lives and interactions
• Kindness
• Integrity
• Forgiveness
• Respect
• Trust
• Unity
