The foundation of our work
Holistic sustainable improvement
To follow our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ in securing a holistic approach to sustainable improvements in the lives of poor disadvantaged people, particularly those affected by conflict and insecurity.
From poverty to opportunity
To see Jesus Christ's approach to transformation of lives of poor and disadvantaged communities from poverty to opportunity, inequality to justice, and from despair to hope.
Justice Livelihoods Health Uganda
Justice Livelihoods Health is an indigenous registered Non-Governmental Organization in Uganda formed to see the lives of poor and disadvantaged communities transformed from poverty to opportunity, from inequality to justice, and from despair to hope.
JLH works in close partnership with local churches and Christian organizations toward fulfilling its justice, livelihoods, and health mandate.
The History of JLH
The year 2015 is marked as the first full year of JLH’s operations in Uganda. JLH observed that many people were living in abject poverty, with limited health facilities, poor access to education, few opportunities to improve their lives, and unjust systems marked by imbalances of power.
JLH was therefore formed as an indigenous organization to help ensure that the next generation will be different.
Committed to lasting change
JLH works to improve the lives of disadvantaged communities through sustainable solutions. The organization pursues a holistic approach to sustainable improvement in the lives of poor and disadvantaged people in target locations, particularly those affected by conflict and insecurity.
Our work is shaped by the belief that transformation must address spiritual, social, economic, health, justice, and community wellbeing needs together.
A growing vision for wider national impact
JLH is currently working in Northern and Western Uganda, with a critical focus to widen this work toward full national coverage.
As JLH grows, the organization continues strengthening local leadership, community participation, partnerships, safeguarding systems, sustainable livelihoods, and integrated services that support vulnerable people.
