Jeremiah Lucas Opira Foundation

We are an independent non-profit humanitarian organization that is politically and religiously independent. Our goal is to raise funds for practical, sustainable projects and programs that improve the lives of marginalized and vulnerable people in the communities we serve.

We aim to inspire and empower people to take more control over their own lives. We work closely with local communities, authorities, organizations, and individuals who want to support our efforts. Through our programs we are making a difference in Northern Uganda by:

  • Enhancing Education: Providing resources and opportunities for learning.
  • Encouraging Entrepreneurship: Empowering individuals to build their own futures.
  • Protecting the Environment: Promoting sustainable practices.
  • Preserving Culture: Celebrating and respecting diversity.
  • Promoting Health and Well-being: Encouraging healthy choices and lifestyles.

Join the Journey: Walk for Change with JLOF

This July and August 2024, Gertrude Opira, Chair of JLOF Sweden, and Professor Aihie Osarenkhoe, Advisor to JLOF, are embarking on a remarkable 700 km walk along the historic Camino de Santiago, specifically the Camino del Norte in Northern Spain. They are undertaking this personal challenge with a purpose: to raise awareness and funds for JLOF’s impactful programs in Northern Uganda. A region marked by conflict, marginalization, and socio-economic challenges. Today, it is characterized by recovery, development, and ongoing efforts to build a peaceful and prosperous region.

Walk the Path of Compassion and Change
Together, we can walk the path of compassion and change. Every step taken by Gertrude and Aihie is a step towards independence, self-sufficiency, and respect for diversity for those in need. Let’s make this journey unforgettable, not just for them but for all those we aim to help.

Help us make a difference by donating. Your contribution will directly support JLOF’s projects. Every donation – big or small – makes a difference. 

Thank you for your support! 💙
