Fairland Foundation was established in 1998 to address the humanitarian and development needs of the most vulnerable. It was established by men and women who voluntarily came together to form a mixed development organization to support humanitarian and development initiatives. After agreeing on the objectives, the members formulated a Constitution to guide its objectives. Registration was sought and achieved, and the organization was on February 28, 1999 officially launched by the Honorable Dr. Beatrice Wabudeya, the then Minister of State for Gender and Community Development.
As a nonprofit, Fairland Foundation solicits and receives charitable financial and in-kind donations from corporations, foundations, and individual donors around the globe; to advance its philanthropic agenda.
