Our Model
Empowering Local Leaders to Rebuild Post-Conflict Communities
At Be A Number, International, we believe the most powerful solutions come from within. That’s why we don’t lead the work—we empower the leaders who already are. In post-conflict communities across Uganda, we walk alongside women and men who have dedicated their lives to rebuilding what war, poverty, and crisis have broken.
We provide the structure, support, and strategy they need to strengthen and scale their work—because when local leaders thrive, entire communities rise with them.
A Proven Framework for Restoration: H.H.E.E.
Our work is built on four pillars: Health, Housing, Education, and Empowerment.
Health – Access to care is foundational. We support trauma-informed care, mobile clinics, and health infrastructure that meets real needs in hard-to-reach places.
Housing – We assist in building safe, stable homes for families who have been displaced or abandoned, laying the groundwork for recovery.
Education – We provide school sponsorships and create vocational pathways so children and adults alike can access opportunity through learning.
Empowerment – Through trauma healing, job training, and income-generating cooperatives, individuals gain the tools to stand on their own and build a better future.
Each pillar is locally driven and community-specific—no one-size-fits-all programs. We build what’s needed, where it’s needed, with those who live there.
Our Model: From Crisis to Sustainability
Be A Number’s three-phase model—Rehabilitation, Training, and Production—offers a clear path to stability and long-term impact.
Rehabilitation: Trauma-informed care helps participants process past pain and rebuild the confidence needed to move forward.
Training: Participants learn practical, income-generating skills—like sewing, tailoring, and business basics—starting with manual machines and advancing to electric, solar-powered tools.
Production: Graduates form local cooperatives that fulfill real contracts—like producing school uniforms—creating sustainable income and economic stability.
This model turns survival into strength, and charity into long-term change.
Our Vision: Uganda and Beyond
We are deeply rooted in Uganda, where this model was born and continues to grow. But our mission doesn’t stop there. As communities across the globe face the aftermath of war, we believe this framework—centered on local leadership, dignity, and sustainability—can scale.
Be A Number, International exists to ignite long-term transformation in any place where the world has moved on, but people are still rebuilding.
