About Us

GlobalPathwaysFoundation 1536x1367

We are a values-driven national non-governmental organization committed to advancing sustainable development, education, protection, human rights, health, livelihoods, and environmental protection through community-led action.   Founded in Gulu District, Northern Uganda, GPF has responding to the urgent needs of children, women, youth, and other vulnerable populations in post-conflict and underserved contexts. From the start, we have worked closely with communities, local authorities, and service providers to design and deliver practical, locally driven solutions grounded in lived experience.   As community trust deepened and needs evolved, we expanded our operations beyond Gulu to Refugee Settlements in Adjumani, Madi Okolo, Yumbe and Lamwo Districts, serving both refugee and host communities. Our integrated programming spans protection, education, health, livelihoods, WASH, and basic services, ensuring holistic and dignified support for those most at risk.   As a nationally registered NGO under Uganda’s National NGO Bureau, we have strengthened our governance and accountability systems, while positioning the organization to scale impact across Uganda and expand collaboration at regional, continental, and global levels.   We are guided by a belief that, a just and equitable world is possible—one in which ​everyone, especially girls and women facing poverty, violence, and discrimination, can realize their full potential. We empower children, youth, women, and communities to drive positive change; create pathways for young people to lead and innovate; and influence policy and practice through evidence, partnerships, and strong community voices.   Anchored by our guiding principles, GPF advances with purpose deeply rooted locally, globally connected, and unwavering in our commitment to dignity, opportunity, and lasting impact for allSample text.
