Terraville is a children's charity working with remote village communities in Uganda. Our name means “village of the earth” because strong children grow from strong, rooted communities. We believe every child deserves a nourishing meal, a classroom seat, and a grown-up in their corner. We work through trusted local networks and tell honest, dignified stories to mobilize resources for the children who need them most.
Vibrant, thriving village communities where children grow up free from hunger and have the education they need to break cycles of poverty.
To mobilize resources through storytelling, ensuring that children have consistent access to formal education, life-saving nutrition, and mentorship.
Children First: every decision begins with what a child needs to eat, learn and grow.
Community: we work with local leaders and families because it takes a village to raise a child.
Dignity: we ask permission, protect privacy, and show every family with respect.
Transparency: we tell true stories and tell donors exactly where their support goes.
Terraville was founded by Ssenyondo Gabriel, a communications professional and storyteller based in Wakiso, Uganda. For more than 6 years, Gabriel has documented humanitarian and community development programs across Uganda, travelling to more than 20 districts and building the community relationships on which Terraville now draws.
