The Microfinance Alliance Africa Projects (MAAP) Foundation provides seed grants and training to rural Ugandan communities to fund sustainable agricultural projects. Money raised from these projects contributes to associated local clinics, which provide desperately needed medical care for impoverished mothers and babies.
Our charity benefits pregnant and ill mothers and children, giving them access to medicine and care. We are making a difference in many lives and improving communities’ ability to help themselves.
The MAAP Foundation keeps clinic doors open. Poverty cripples Uganda’s mothers and children who suffer from limited access to healthcare. We refuse to ignore this crisis because many are suffering and dying unnecessarily.
Including, modern equipment for a surgical theater, clinical microscopes, ultrasound machine, incubator, mama kits, pharmaceutical stocks, and mosquito bed nets.
Including 30+ dairy cows, cattle breeding farm, piggeries, poultry farms, corn crops, and a fish farm.
Simple Malaria medicine plus a nutritional diet can save many children’s lives.
Sustainable businesses help women and children get the support they need.
William Graham’s poetry and Robin Pendergast’s photography vividly convey the message that hope is a part of healing. But hope is built on a foundation of action, and action is the parent of change.
Robin traveled to Uganda with Deacon Don in 2022. This book tells the story of the MAAP Foundation’s mission through his photography and William’s prose.
