ABOUT DOMINION RESCUE FOUNDATION (DRF)

At DRF, we empower children, girls, youths, and women to realize their full potential and become agents of change in their communities. Through education, life skills, and community-driven programs, we tackle inequality, build resilience, and create opportunities for a brighter, more inclusive future. Our philosophy is simple: nothing for them without them—because lasting change begins with those we serve.

By combining hands-on learning, mentorship, and innovative approaches, we equip participants with the knowledge, skills, and confidence to overcome social and economic barriers. From building school readiness for underserved children to providing vocational training for girls and young women, our programs create tangible pathways to independence, leadership, and community impact. At DRF, we don’t just envision change—we nurture it, ensuring every young person we serve has the tools to transform their life, their family, and their community.

Bee Empowered to Conserve

Having detected the threats inside the reserve and the potential effects in the Budongo landscape, Dominion Rescue Foundation has piloted buffer crops and created bee fences with the potential for reducing crop-raiding incidences. Interviews with local farmers to assess the potential of buffer crops in reducing crop raids, mitigating human-wildlife conflict with the possibility of increasing chimpanzee survival close to cultivated fields which were done form the basis for this project.

Why use sports?

Globally, 1 in 4 adults is not active enough and more than 80% of the world`s adolescent population is insufficient physically active (World Health Organization). Let`s reverse the trend and get moving.
