Wajoli! Welcome!
Wajoli means 'welcome' in the local Luo language, spoken by the Acholi people of northern Uganda. The name was introduced by a young Ugandan widow with two children. She said that everyone deserves and should welcome opportunities into their life - without fear of the unknown - opportunities to learn, opportunities to prosper, opportunities to journey to a self-sustainable, thriving future.
At Wajoli Foundation, we welcome opportunities for all.
Education, health and livelihood initiatives are recognised ways to provide opportunities and improve prosperity in developing countries.

Sustainable Development Goals
The 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, adopted by all United Nations Member States in 2015, provides a shared blueprint for peace and prosperity for people and the planet, now and into the future. At its heart are the 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which are an urgent call for action by all countries - developed and developing - in a global partnership. They recognize that ending poverty and other deprivations must go hand-in-hand with strategies that improve health and education, reduce inequality, and spur economic growth.
Wajoli Foundation programs take a holistic approach that contributes to many Sustainable Development Goals for our Catchment Area in Gulu, Uganda, to work towards a world where people live free of poverty with the opportunity and the ability to shape their own lives.
The specific Goals that Wajoli Foundation are working towards are pictured below.
“Talents and gifts are out there. That’s a level playing field that exists everywhere. Opportunity does not, and what we need is to provide those opportunities for everyone.”
— Rami Malek
Opportunities transform lives, create positive impact, and bring hope, joy and love to the people that need it most.
