Mojitos Against Mosquitoes 2012 - Come join us in Seattle, July 26th!


Are you interested in global health and development, learning more about life in Uganda, or just meeting old and new friends for a good time? Then make your way to the swanky BalMar in Ballard on the evening of July 26th from 6-11pm, and see what the buzzzzz is about. Your $15 ticket gets you happy hour food and drink prices all night long, and be sure to bring cash or credit card for our fantastic auction! We will also have a specialty cocktail available- Mozzie Mojito anyone?

Mojitos Against Mosquitoes is a fundraising event for the Uganda Village Project (UVP), an international NGO based in Seattle, WA and Iganga Town, Uganda. Since 2003, the Uganda Village Project has been working with the people of the Iganga district to promote sustainable public health and development programs. We work directly with community based organizations and the local government to utilize local knowledge and maximize community ownership.

We've also recently been nominated for a CLASSY Award!

The Uganda Village Project conducts a variety programs in villages in rural Eastern Uganda, and these include orphan sponsorship, HIV/AIDS testing, malaria prevention, well and latrine construction, hygiene and sanitation improvement, eye care, and obstetric fistula repair. These programs occur year round through the tireless efforts of local and international staff and volunteers on the ground, and projects are funded solely though individual donations.
