Its work covers areas such as women's empowerment, inclusion of people with disabilities, education, health, water and sanitation, small business development and climate-smart agriculture. FCDE operates regional sites in western Uganda, including Kasese and Rukungiri, and a site in Mbale, and draws support from individuals, schools and workplaces in the United States and Uganda.
