About Fields of Life
Fields of Life is committed to sharing the Christian faith, by collaborating with local communities and churches in East Africa, to bring about positive change through the provision of quality education, clean water, health promotion and other community based projects. They have almost twenty five years of experience of working in East Africa. They work in Uganda, Rwanda, Burundi, Kenya, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan seeking to work with partners in providing sustainable community development.
What they do
The I Am Girl initiative was launched in 2014 to address some of the many challenges young girls in East Africa face on a daily basis. It is the goal of FOL to educate both boys and girls, men and women within their school network on issues such as gender equality, menstrual hygiene management, gender based violence, and child protection. We are also passionate about improving the personal hygiene and health of young girls through the provision of reliable water sources, improved washing facilities and access to appropriate sanitary protection. I Am Girl is committed to empowering girls to complete their education and grow into strong, healthy young women. For more information on I Am Girl, please click here or you can contact me here.

The WASH program incorporates the provision of a safe water supply, adequate sanitation facilities and appropriate hygiene promotion practices to marginalized communities in order to protect the health and quality of life of thousands of people. Access to adequate water, sanitation, and hygiene (WASH) is one of the most fundamental basic human rights. Yet, 663 million people are living without clean water and 2.4 billion people do not have adequate toilet facilities. For many in East Africa, this could literally mean the difference between life or death. At Fields of Life, we have three of our own drilling rigs and equipment. This enables us to drill our own wells at the most cost-effective rate. Our hydrogeologist ensures each borehole is drilled in the most suitable location and our drilling teams work hard to complete every well to the highest possible standard. For more information on WASH, please click here or you can contact me here.
There are future plans to raise money for the WASH program through Beyond Yourself, so stay tuned!
Fields of Life believes in the power of Education to change the world. We are passionate about providing access to the highest possible standards of education. We partner with local churches and communities who share our desire to educate children and unlock their potential to become the future change makers, influencers, and leaders in East Africa. Education goes beyond bricks and mortar. Our quality education program empowers and supports all of the Fields of Life partner schools to be child focused centers of excellence. This enables all of the children in our school network to benefit from Christian education, child protection, teacher training, I Am Girl, and water, sanitation, and hygiene programs. For more information on Education, please click here or contact me here.
There are future plans to raise money to build a school in East Africa through Beyond Yourself, so stay tuned!
