Project Scope
Come, Let’s Dance is a non-profit, grassroots organization dedicated to empowering African youth to initiate positive social and economic change in their own lives and communities. Their vision is to play a small part in breaking the poverty and orphan cycle for street kids and orphans in Uganda who are the future mothers, fathers, leaders, and role models of African society. Come Let’s Dance exists to empower and inspire African children and their communities through the hands-on implementation of education, medical care, family style living, personalized relief, and the creation of self-sustaining agricultural and business ventures.

Come, Let’s Dance has purchased 20.43acres of farm land with the vision of implementing organic farming techniques to produce food and income for the associated community while emphasizing education, training, and empowerment. The goal of the design is to provide a working farm that fits within the local culture while still being a catalyst for positive change. The farm will provide food and funding for orphans under the care of Come Let’s Dance, training and support for individuals within the community to become more sustainable, as well as providing some housing for the poor.

In opening the farm project, Come, Let’s Dance desires to reach out to the poor, the orphaned, the widowed, etc. exemplifying what Christ has called us to do. Come be a part of this opportunity to touch so many children’s lives forever!
