Staff and Volunteers
At Mubaku community, our teachers don’t just teach, but also help the local community in a number of ways. They repair borehole wells so that the locals don’t have to go to the river Nile to get water and risk being attacked by crocodiles. They identify income-generating opportunities for the parents and youth that will keep the youth in school. They encourage the youth to embrace their cultural heritage by teaching them their songs, dances, and crafts. They teach youth and adults to be environmentally aware of how to improve the world around them.
However, the fundamental goal for every child is to be able to read and write so that they get good jobs.

Charles Oyer, Founder and Chairman of MUCCO
Charles was born in Mubaku. His family moved to Kampala, where he received his schooling. When he traveled back to his home village, he was always aware of how little opportunity existed. He became a professional tourist guide in 2007 and saw that he could help improve his home village. He founded MUCCO with many of the leaders of the village. He has helped establish the school, found employment for village musicians at a local lodge, and brought volunteers to help Mubaku in many ways. When not working on MUCCO tasks he runs Pamoja Safaris.
