Programs Overview

We work across four areas in Uganda and Zambia, each one supporting the others.

Plant-Based Food and Nutrition

We work with schools and hospitals across Uganda and Zambia to shift toward local plant-based proteins like soy, groundnuts, and indigenous beans, and distribute plant-based supplements to address micronutrient gaps. We partner with institutions on 100% plant-based meal programs and host an annual 3-Day Vegan Fellowship Summit on plant-based health and policy.

Animal Welfare and Conservation

We protect Ugandan and Zambian animals across three fronts: farmed animals through driver certification and humane handling training, aquatic animals through shoreline audits and fisher education, and wild animals through community-led rhino anti-poaching and habitat restoration. We advocate for animal rights through radio and digital media in Swahili and other local languages.

Education and Youth Leadership

We run Atlas Vegan Community School in Mubende, Uganda – a 100% plant-based primary school serving 200+ learners, 80% of them vulnerable children studying for free. Through Luv4All Educator Academy, we certify 200+ young people annually as plant-based living ambassadors across Uganda and Zambia, training them to carry the movement forward in their own communities. We also equip rural students with digital literacy skills.

Sustainable Communities

We replace wood-burning stoves with solar kitchens to eliminate smoke inhalation and stop deforestation. We also support 2,000+ farmers with solar-powered water systems for year-round, veganic farming.

Clean Water & Community Health

We provide safe drinking water to rural villages through solar-powered pumping stations.

Economic Empowerment

We offer low-interest loans for women and youth running plant-based businesses, vocational training in culinary arts and regenerative farming, and build ethical revenue streams through eco-tourism and specialty coffee to fund our conservation and nonprofit work.
