Our vision
A world where every family is a foundation for inclusion, dignity, equality and opportunity for all.
About us
We work from the family outward
Transforming Families for Inclusion — a grassroots community initiative founded in 2026, officially established on 24 July 2026.
Who we are
Founded on a simple belief
Transforming Families for Inclusion (TFI Uganda) is a grassroots community initiative founded in 2026, officially established on 24 July 2026, and based in Buwunga Subcounty, Bugiri District, Uganda.
TFI Uganda was founded on a simple belief: lasting inclusion begins within the family.
Families are the first places where children and young people learn about dignity, equality, participation and belonging. However, families can also be places where stigma, discrimination, exclusion and unequal opportunities begin. TFI Uganda works to transform these experiences by supporting families to become foundations of inclusion and positive change.
We focus particularly on children, youth and persons with disabilities, while recognising that meaningful inclusion requires working with the whole family and the wider community.
Support that starts at home, with the whole family involved.
Our mission
To transform families into catalysts for inclusion, dignity, equality and opportunity, enabling children, youth and persons with disabilities to thrive.
Our core values
Six commitments we hold ourselves to
-
Inclusion
Everyone belongs — in the household, in decisions and in community life.
-
Dignity
Every person is treated with respect, whatever their age or ability.
-
Equality
Equal rights, equal voice and equal opportunity within every family.
-
Transformation
Change that reaches attitudes and relationships, not only circumstances.
-
Empowerment
Families and young people lead their own change; we walk with them.
-
Integrity
We are honest and accountable to the communities we serve.
Our approach
Inclusion does not start outside the home
At TFI Uganda, we believe that inclusion is not something that starts outside the home. It starts with how families see, treat, listen to and support one another.
We therefore work from the family outward — transforming relationships, challenging harmful beliefs, strengthening families and building communities where everyone can participate and thrive.
Our theory of change
When families transform relationships, challenge harmful norms, strengthen their resilience and promote shared decision-making, children, youth and persons with disabilities are better able to exercise their rights, participate meaningfully, live with dignity and access opportunities.
Inclusion begins at home — and it continues with you
