Community First (COFI) is an indigenous non-governmental organization registered under the Ugandan National Bureau for NGOs Act 2016. Founded in 2017 by Mr. Bruno Naho and Mrs. Judith Manano, COFI serves marginalized and vulnerable communities in Uganda, with a primary focus on the Somali urban refugee community living within the Kisenyi slums of Kampala.
We affirm the dignity of vulnerable communities when we see them not just as beneficiaries of charity but as valuable contributors and stakeholders in the solutions to their challenges.
Our Impact
Our work focuses on holistic transformation, socially, psychosocially and economically, across vulnerable communities in Uganda. Through participatory research and community-led development we help people take control of their own situations.
Every contribution counts and helps us bring hope and essential resources to those in need.
Get Involved
We invite you to participate in our life with the community. Together, we can create lasting change and build stronger, more resilient communities.
Your time, skills and passion can help transform lives and build stronger communities.
Real voices, real impact, real change.
Community First Uganda has helped me a lot. They teach English and computers. I came here as a beginner last year, but now I’m getting better. I am grateful for their support. Thank you, Community First Uganda.

I enjoy learning English, programming, and Excel. My favorite part is English and programming. I love writing stories too. Once, I wrote a story and shared it with my teachers. It was a great experience for me.
