(PFHRDI)
Pearl Foundation for Human Rights and Development Initiative (PFHRDI) was established with a vision to create lasting change in Ugandan communities through holistic, people-centered programs.
We are proudly women-led, community-focused, and dedicated to breaking the cycle of learned helplessness that has held back too many talented individuals. Our approach combines education, healthcare, and economic empowerment to create sustainable impact.
We are a women-led NGO championing access to quality education, responsive healthcare, and economic resilience. Every project is co-designed with the communities we serve, ensuring culturally grounded solutions that last.
A Uganda where every person, especially women and youth, has access to quality education, healthcare, and economic opportunities to break the cycle of poverty and achieve sustainable development.
We awaken the national conscience and unlimited power within Ugandans to overcome the delusion of insignificance. We believe you are powerful beyond measure and born to manifest greatness.
We believe education is a fundamental human right. Through the Rev. Prof. John L. Kater Right to Education Program, we provide tuition assistance for needy children.
Pearl Medical Emergency program brings communities together for better health outcomes and emergency medical support.
We recognize that people affected by a problem are best positioned to solve it. Our approach empowers communities with voice, skills, and power to shape their own solutions.
