What we do
Our objectives define essentially who we are and why we came up with Platiform For the Unprivileged - PLAFU as an organization. Most of everything on this website covers our objectives. Essentially our key focus is channeled at the unprivileged communities, societies and individuals. In so doing, we have come up with activities, events and programs in the most aspects that cover basic needs for them. We have our focus centered from food security, shelter, education, medication to economic empowerment.

Income Generating Activities
Together with National Forestry Authority – NFA, PLAFU carried out sanitisation to its communities on the importance of conserving environment while planting trees as an economic factor. In this we introduced to them a method of planting trees for economic gain while also conserving environment. This activity was aimed at promoting an income generating venture to those who had some pieces of land and we also encouraged those who did not have to partner with those who had or borrow to pay back when the project yields results.

Background
The education sector whose approach is to impact and shape school going children to be competitive with high standards to all academic levels, was greatly affected negatively by COVID 19 Pandemic in Uganda. Yet its potential to strengthen the country’s economic growth cannot be downplayed especially now when the need for professionals in different sectors is wanting. Empowering school going children with schools bursaries or sponsorship and scholastic aterials, forms a crucial strategy of strengthening our education system whose success depends on the support of CMO’S (Collective Management Organizations), Corporate Campanies, and Well-Wishers whose focus is on the bright future of our school going children. Platiform for the Unprivileged - PLAFU a registered CBO identified the need to adopt a similar project for the unprivileged population in the greater Kampala slum areas of Uganda. In 2023 we established a similar project under FOOD BASKET PROJECT where we work with the communities to donate food and scholastic materials.
