Why Uganda?

Our Founders

Janine brings over 30 years of experience in people development. A simple girl at heart, she enjoys originality and thinking outside the box. Known for her ability to inspire and encourage others, Janine describes herself as highly service-oriented. With a blend of business ownership and volunteer work, she has mastered the balance between being accountable for creating impact and providing opportunities for others to grow and shine.

Craig has extensive experience in the building trade, with a proven track record of delivering outstanding service and exceeding expectations. In 2012, he first traveled to Uganda to help build a classroom. Over the next several years, he returned frequently, driven by a determination to make a difference in communities with limited support. The bottom left picture shows the last time Craig and Janine were together with their family in 2022, at their daughter Megan's wedding.

Our
Staff

Amos (below left) is a familiar presence and trusted ally in our organisation for more than six years. Great people are critical to any growth, culture and fabric. Amos has been a key figure overseeing the well-being of Little Heroes during the challenges of lockdown and the pandemic years. In acknowledgment of his exceptional contributions, Amos has now assumed the formal role of Field Manager.

Ronald's exceptional dedication and countless volunteer hours spent working alongside us with the children over the past year have not gone unnoticed. Therefore, it was a natural decision to extend a formal offer to him for the role of Programme Manager. In this capacity, Ronald will be responsible for supervising our weekly projects, including Skateboarding, Fun Clinics, and Book Clubs. As a highly respected and influential figure in the community, Ronald's leadership will undoubtedly enhance our programs to positively impact the lives of those we serve.

Board of Trustees

As with numerous small non-profit organisations, Craig and Janine serve as the founders, volunteers, and primary fundraisers for our charity. Over the past five years, they have demonstrated unwavering dedication to the cause, committing themselves to continual up-skilling and professional development. This journey has been characterised by learning the intricacies of fundraising, navigating registration processes, crafting a clear vision for the organisation, and investing countless hours in on-the-ground efforts, from managing building projects to handling behind-the-scenes administrative tasks.
