Empowering households. Opening doors.

Every family deserves a way forward. Wang Kaci Development Initiative is an indigenous, youth-led nonprofit helping young families in Lango, Uganda access practical skills, sustainable farming knowledge, and opportunities to stay in school.

Rooted in Dokolo District. Working towards a self-reliant Lango.

Our story: a gateway to opportunity

In Lango, Wang Kaci means a door, a gate, or an entrance to a homestead. It is a place of welcome, security and transition—a connection between home, the gardens, and the possibilities beyond.

We were formed in response to youth unemployment, unsustainable farming and low post-primary school completion. Our mission is to act as a gateway for young families through vocational skilling, climate-smart agriculture training and support for post-primary education.

Our vision

A self-reliant community in Lango where young families have open doors to skills, food security and education.

Three doors to opportunity

01 · Vocational skills & youth empowerment

Practical training and entrepreneurship help young people build pathways to livelihoods. Our focus includes carpentry, metal work, tailoring, small engineering and boda-boda safety.

Partner with us: support training, donate tools and safety equipment, or share business and technical expertise.

02 · Sustainable agriculture & climate resilience

We promote climate-smart farming for smallholder farmers through practical training, demonstration gardens and post-harvest handling skills.

Partner with us: strengthen farmer training, demonstration gardens and access to agricultural knowledge.

03 · Education & child development

We support children and young people to stay engaged in learning and complete post-primary education through community sensitisation, scholastic and sports materials, health clubs, guidance and counselling.

Partner with us: contribute learning materials, support school retention activities, or share expertise in youth wellbeing.
