About

The Association

Namataba e.V. is active in both Germany and Uganda, with committed members working hand in hand to support local projects and bring the organization’s vision to life in a lasting and meaningful way.

Germany

In Germany, Namataba e.V. is based in Lörrach, where 10 to 20 members currently volunteer their time and skills for the organization. Each one contributes their unique strengths—whether in organization, communication, or supporting fundraising activities. Together, they work with great dedication to advance the projects in Uganda and drive the association’s vision forward.

Uganda

The Ugandan branch of the organization is led by employed staff who work closely with the German team. They are responsible for implementing all local projects and ensure that progress is regularly documented and reported back to the team in Germany. This close collaboration guarantees that the organization’s goals are achieved efficiently and sustainably.
