ST JUDE FAMILY PROJECTS

St. Jude Family Projects (St. Jude) is a story of vibrancy and innovation in response to the need for sustainabe livelihoods for small-scale farmers in Uganda. The Kizza family has led by example, turning their small farm into a demonstration that has inspired thousands of visitors over the years. What was a family farm is now a Ugandan NGO with tremendous potential to go on and have a great deal of impact in its promotion of integrated organic farming. It was registered in 1997 under registration certificate No.S.5914/2000 with Uganda Non Governmental Organization Board under the ministry of Internal Affair.

St. Jude is located in Busense village, Masaka district, south western Uganda, approximately 12 kilometres off Masaka-Kyotera road.

St. Jude has maintained high standards in both its demonstrations and training, adapting to the dynamic changes in community needs and unpredictable weather. It has consistently embraced new techniques, and developed new training to pass these on to the community. St. Jude has also given birth to Masaka Organic Processors, which now runs as a separate and viable business under St. Jude’s guidance, drying and marketing fruits from farmers in the surrounding area.
