Vision for Teso Rural Development Organization (Vision TERUDO)

We are an indigenous Non-Government Organization established in 1982 and incorporated on August 11, 1983 as an Unlimited Company without Share Capital. Vision TERUDO was born out of the need to respond to widespread poverty, health challenges, hunger and education crisis in Teso region – following years of social, economic and political decline and impact of the 1979 war. Fully registered under the NGO Bureau (Certificate Number 3357), the organization operates nationally in Uganda, with a mission to empower communities to fight hunger, poverty and injustice, envisioning a healthy society free from hunger, poverty and injustice.

Our Founding Story

From the remote community of Omodo in Ngora District, Vision TERUDO set her first foot print to what is now a household name in Teso and beyond. The year was 1982, under a tree where minds of the same vision met and agreed it was time for Teso to rise and walk again, stitching back the shredded lives. In the years, Uganda reeled with the immediate aftermath of wars, Vision TERUDO was with the people, teaching affected households how to cope with livelihood challenges. The Spring of Hope gushed, watering communities with better health, stable livelihoods and a safe environment. Communities have since been supported to adapt farming techniques that build dignity alongside food security, economic empowerment and quality education.
