IMPACT LIBRARY
Stories of creativity, learning and Community growth
on Mount Elgon
Impact at Home of Friends grows through daily work, shared experiences and small steps taken together.
Since 2017, we’ve been working alongside Communities in Kapchorwa and Kween - learning, adjusting and building on what is already strong. Through Community tourism, guide development, youth training and women-led initiatives, we turn local knowledge, passion and creativity into meaningful opportunities.
This Impact Library brings those stories together.
Impact in everyday practice
On this page you find videos that show how impact is being created on the ground:
Native guides growing into confident storytellers
Young people finding pride and income through tourism and sports
Women entrepreneurs sharing skills, culture and leadership
Trails, meals and experiences co-created with the Community
Guests becoming part of local life, even for a short while
Each story reflects real people, real learning curves and real connections.
These stories are shaped through experiences such as the Mosopisiek Trail, Cooking with the Kapchorwa Mamas and locally guided hikes around Kapchorwa.
