Working together at the community level throughout Jinja and Masaka, FSD supports programs and initiatives that:

• Support the construction of primary schools, water systems, and sewage management. These infrastructure projects reflect community collaboration throughout the planning and building process.
• Create and manage websites for local organizations to support information distribution and awareness building.
• Train community members in areas of technical expertise and capacity building such as income-generating activities, life skills, nutrition, and youth development.
• Expand and enhance workshops, group discussions, and stress relief activities that reduce community conflicts.
• Conduct qualitative and quantitative research, including baseline studies, mid-project research, and impact studies of community-based construction projects.
• Develop radio programs, talk shows, advertising, and public relation programs that promote pressing health, HIV/AIDS, and community development issues.
