Foundation for Development of Needy Communities (FDNC) is a Ugandan-based, grassroots, non-governmental and non-partisan organization founded by Samuel Watulatsu in 1996. FDNC is registered as an NGO with Uganda NGO Board. In addition, through its nearly 16-year history, FDNC has learnt that the most sustainable way to alleviate poverty in rural communities is though empowering women and the young generation to take ownership of their own financial, sexual, and personal livelihoods.

FDNC currently addresses challenges and struggles that represents large global issues such as poverty, access to education for all, women’s empowerment, and skill-building for youth.

Welcome to our website. You realize that my previous message over stayed on line. FDNC is a product of many years of focus, determination, creativity, resourcefulness, and perseverance. FDNC is now recovered from a long term restructuring process that has taken slightly above a couple years. From its founding, FDNC registered rapid growth that impacted the manner in which its activities were carried out.
Moreover while activities increased in out put the finances either remained constant or diminished. This restructuring period has been characterized by reflection and learning as well as setting a new pace for the future.

I truly wish to thank you for your interest in FDNC website.

With a financial and development background and as a change agent, coupled with over 15 years of experience, I feel privileged to face the challenge of leading FDNC into the future, ensuring that historical and current development needs of those engulfed in poverty and ignorance are appropriately addressed mindful of the current economic woes that have greatly impacted the developing world.

Let me take this opportunity to share with you my viewpoints on community transformation.
