US2UGANDA4life is a grassroots, nonprofit organization established in 2009 that provides sponsorship support for Ugandan Children and young adults. The co-founders Cormac & Ali O'Modhrain have been engaged in Uganda for more than 20 years and are more engaged and passionate today than they have ever been. As the organization has matured and grown more friends have become involved, trips to Uganda are more frequent and the teams they bring to experience their work have grown bigger every year. So many have helped and been helped by this small organization that today cares for more than 240 children and young adults in primary and secondary schools, vocational programs and Universities. We are truly blessed! We have seen children become adults, finish apprenticeships, get jobs, and most recently we celebrated our first two University graduations.

We need all the help we can get.

People are always interested in what happens to the money, there is more info on our FAQ sheet but here is the quick answer, there are no paid positions, the organization runs exclusively on volunteer leadership and 100% of every sponsorship dollar is invested in Uganda. Expenses such as bank fees [The largest expense] web hosting etc. are all funded by friends and family donations. We are passionate about inspecting what we expect so at least once each year we bring teams to Uganda to experience the work firs hand. This is an additional source of funding and education. These trips finance smaller projects, bring medical talent to work and educate at the clinic and nursing school, and most important expose more people to their mission.
