Company Description
Partners for Community Transformation (PaCT), widely known as PaCT Uganda, is an indigenous non-profit organization dedicated to transforming the lives of vulnerable communities through targeted social, economic, and health interventions. Established originally in 1995 as the Mityana Uganda Charity, the organization underwent a major strategic rebranding in May 2018 to better reflect its expanding multi-sectoral mission and geographical coverage. Affiliated with the UK-based Mityana Charity, the entity works alongside local leadership to address structural inequalities and foster community self-sustainability.
The organization maintains its national headquarters in Nansana Municipality within the Wakiso District, alongside a dedicated regional program coordination office located in Kiyinda Zone B, Mityana. Under the administrative leadership of Executive Director Geoffrey Kinaalwa, PaCT has scaled its direct field operations across ten districts within central Uganda, including Mityana, Mubende, Gomba, Kassanda, Kyankwanzi, and Kiboga. For institutional inquiries, job recruitment, or volunteer coordination, the administrative team manages communication directly through its official online hub.
Operationally, PaCT’s core community development framework centers on three foundational pillars: economic activation, social protection, and health development. A major flagship initiative is their “She Is Able” campaign, which focuses heavily on advancing economic inclusion, rights awareness, and personal leadership for Adolescent Girls and Young Women (AGYW) aged 10 to 24 who are at risk of school dropout, gender-based violence, or HIV/AIDS. Beyond youth advocacy, the organization has achieved immense success in rural land reform. In partnership with the Ministry of Lands, Housing, and Urban Development, PaCT has mapped over 30,000 land plots and issued free Certificates of Occupancy to safeguard land tenure security for vulnerable families.
In the public health and environmental sector, the NGO stands out as a critical developer of rural Water, Sanitation, and Hygiene (WASH) frameworks. Collaborating with international donors like Blood:Water, PaCT constructs sustainable clean water supply networks—including deep boreholes, gravity flow systems, and institutional rainwater harvesting configurations—across schools and remote villages. By deploying UNICEF’s interactive “Three-Star model,” their field engineers and social workers train local water committees and school boards to maintain these facilities independently, directly decreasing the prevalence of preventable waterborne illnesses.
