Arlington in brief
About Arlington Academy of Hope Uganda
Arlington Academy of Hope Uganda (AAH) and its sister organization in the USA called REACH for Uganda, were founded in 2004 by John and Joyce Wanda, immigrants from Uganda who had settled in the USA in 1996.
AAH is a non-governmental organization that serves the children and people of Uganda, especially in the rural districts of Bududa, Manafwa and Namisindwa. To achieve its mission and goals we built a model primary school in Bududa called Arlington Junior School (AJS) which educates 550 students and later Matuwa Junior School in Namisindwa with 370 students.

What we stand for
Mission
Transforming lives in rural Uganda through quality education, healthcare and community development
Vision

Core values
