Key takeaways

PONT's work is most relevant to organisations in Uganda, and its stated priority is the Mbale Region in eastern Uganda, with themes of health, livelihoods, learning, environment and poverty relief.
Its total annual giving is £63,867 and no grant range is published, so a modest request is more likely to suit it, and the register does not confirm that giving figure.
No application process is published in the annual report, the register entry or its website, so contact the charity first to ask how to proceed.
It works through partnerships with local organisations such as Mbale CAP and develops many of its own projects, so an approach that connects to a Ugandan partner or existing community work is the more natural fit.

What they fund

Priority Areas

PONT supports Ugandan organisations with the potential to tackle poverty in their towns and villages, through direct community links and a partnership linking Wales with eastern Uganda. Its projects aim to reduce poverty and improve health, livelihoods, learning and the environment. They include work in community health, education, engineering, livelihoods, ambulances, hospitals, churches, universities and wildlife education. PONT works alongside local organisations through Mbale CAP and seeks to empower NGOs already active in communities. In Wales, volunteer committees bring expertise from different fields and work directly with counterparts in Mbale; partners make joint decisions about projects and raise funds for them. PONT also develops and funds its own projects, with the relevant subject committee selecting, developing and monitoring them. Its partnership is based on friendship, commitment and respect.
