About Organization

Al-Salam Charity Foundation is a faith-based non-profit dedicated to humanitarian relief, education, and community development, operating primarily in Uganda. They work in underserved communities, often in hard-to-reach areas, focusing on poverty alleviation, food distribution, and youth empowerment.

The Challenge
