About Us
Who We Are
LUTINO ADUNU (LA) envision a transformed society where children’s wellbeing are held in high esteem. The organization aims at promoting and supporting the wellbeing of children in the post war northern Uganda through advocacy, service, capacity building and child centered programming. LUTINO ADUNU believes in integrity, honesty, respect, and service.
Since its establishment in 2014, LUTINO ADUNU Community Library project has served over 50,000 people in Nwoya District encompassing 16 villages and 20 primary and secondary schools. The remote schools are being supported through a school book loan system whereby story books are loaned to primary schools on a temporary basis. Through the accelerated reading program, the organization has supported over 50 schools in the 11 sub counties.
ATEK, our Feminine Hygiene and Pad Project, has had tremendous success. This project came as a result to address the high rate of school dropout and early pregnancy. This educational project is aimed at restoring hope and dignity to female populations; creating small entrepreneurships for women; increasing school attendance for girls and decreasing early pregnancies. To achieve our local and regional goals, LA has partnered with Days for Girls Uganda, Save the Children, Child Fund International, the World Bank, Government of Uganda, and the Private Sector Foundation. To date, over 4,000 students, girls and boys, youth, teachers and parents have been trained in the 4 districts of Northern Uganda.
Sponsoring our Economic Empowerment Program, LA has also received generous funding from Oxfam International to develop 20 new women’s groups in Nwoya District through the Financial Literacy and VSLA.
Over time, LA has continued to design projects to meet the changing needs of the community.
