OUR MISSION

2 Billion people lack access to basic humanitarian services.
We're on a mission to change that.

Train Local Leaders

We invest in training locals to become a better version of themselves, better parents to their children, self sustaining business owners and thriving community leaders.

Transform Communities

We equip communities with the tools they need to build community-focused programs for women, children and the elderly.

Support local Infrastructure

We build wells, schools, housing and training centers for the underserved and forgotten. Working with local advocates remains a key part of our work.

GET INVOLVED

Each year, we select 3 projects focused on providing life-saving relief to local communities

Water, Orphans and Women Empowerment

Working with local and national leaders in Uganda, the Ballard Foundation divides their recources accross three important programs. 

Building water infrastructure systems to ensure clean water for local villages.

The Women’s Empowerment Program trains women in the trade of running a beauty salon, sewing, computer literacy, money and finance management and creating market ready products for sale.
