Mubaku Community Conservation Organization (MUCCO) is a not-for-profit community-based organisation.
It was started in 2013 by a group of talented and creative young and old men and women to entertain tourists who come to Murchison Falls National Park, and in 2014, it was incorporated in Ngwedo Sub-County, Buliisa district, with registration number MIA/NB/2017/11/269. By 2015, it attracted a great number of local community populations and stakeholders to empower it for the growth of the area.
Mubaku Community Conservation Organisation is located in northwest Uganda. This village lies across Lake Albert from the Democratic Republic of Congo, virtually in the heart of central Africa and bordering Murchison Falls National Park to the southern bank of the River Nile. MUCCO consists of different cultural groups like Alur, Bagungu, Banyoro, and Acholi for the purpose of keeping youth busy in the areas to collect resources for development, rather than encroaching on the National Park for self-interest.
The positive results of MUCCO activities are expected to create conservation, educational, cultural, social, and economic benefits to bridge and prevent the drastic increase in HIV/AIDS, poverty, and school dropout in Buliisa District. Let’s embrace our hands together to bring about change in conserving the southern part of Murchison Falls National Park.
Taking a journey with Afoyo African Safaris through Uganda, Rwanda, Kenya, Tanzania, Zambia, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo is more than just a safari adventure — it is a journey that creates hope and directly supports local communities and conservation projects. Travel with purpose. Travel with kindness. Let your adventure become a story of impact, connection, and hope.
Mubaku Community Project – Empowering Communities in the Albertine Region
A future where education, health, clean water, and sustainable development are accessible to every community in the Albertine Region of Uganda.
Our Vision
To build a thriving and self-sustaining community where every individual in the Albertine Region lives with dignity, supported by access to quality education, reliable healthcare, and clean, safe water, while benefiting from sustainable development opportunities that protect both people and nature.
Our Mission
The Mubaku Community Project exists to empower local communities through long-term, impactful development programmes focused on:
Improving access to quality education
Strengthening healthcare services and outreach
Providing clean and safe water solutions
Promoting sustainable development and environmental protection
We work closely with communities, local leaders, and partners to create practical solutions that uplift lives, restore hope, and build lasting resilience.
Our Focus Areas – Education Empowerment
We support schools, learning materials, and youth development programmes to ensure children and young people have the tools they need to succeed. A key focus is girl child education, which remains a major challenge in the region due to oil exploration activities, limited access to schooling, and insufficient sensitisation about the importance of educating girls in society.
Health Access
We improve access to basic healthcare services, health education, and community outreach programs to strengthen wellbeing for communities living near Murchison Falls National Park and within the oil-rich sub-region. Our goal is to ensure healthier, safer, and more informed communities.
Clean Water Projects
We support sustainable clean water systems that reduce waterborne diseases and improve daily life for families. These initiatives also help communities reduce risks associated with unsafe water sources, including dangers from wildlife such as Nile crocodiles along the Nile River.
Sustainable Development
We promote community-led conservation, eco-friendly initiatives, and income-generating projects that protect the environment while improving livelihoods. Our approach ensures that development goes hand in hand with conservation and long-term community wellbeing.
Why It Matters
In the Albertine Region, many communities still face challenges in accessing basic services such as education, healthcare, and clean water. These challenges affect daily life, opportunities, and future generations.
Your support helps transform these realities into opportunities, dignity, and hope. Every project we implement is a step toward a stronger, healthier, and more sustainable future.
