Deseret Foundation e.V. is a non-profit association based in Leipzig. The association supports poor children and old people in a village in Jinga District, Uganda. The best remedy for poverty is education: a child with a good education has the chance of development. It can thus provide a livelihood in Uganda and has the opportunity to find its way out of poverty. For example, to become doctors or engineers, the children need good school certificates. But they usually do not manage to raise the financial resources to attain this goal. Therefore, the Deseret Foundation wants as many destitute children as possible to go to school free of charge. At the same time, they support the elderly with decent housing and medical care.
