My Nonprofit Reviews

Social Promise is a wonderful organization that helps promote awareness about the disparities in healthcare and living standards in Uganda. What I love about Social Promise, that is so different from most non-profit organizations that work in developing countries is that Social promise partners with already established organizations in Northern Uganda in ways that do not perpetuate the white savior mentality and create further dependency on the community for outside help. Social Promise allows people that actually live in the community to decide what needs need to be addressed and the ways that they can be addressed to benefit the community in the best possible way. As someone from a developing country as well, I know the importance of dismantling the "white savior mentality" and viewing the people you are helping as equals and I believe Social Promise does a wonderful job at this.
