WHO WE ARE
EDDIE BAGUMA
Born & raised in Kampala, Uganda, Eddie has spent his time working in both the for and non-profit sectors. He helped start a large church network that assisted orphaned and vulnerable children here in Uganda and worked with them for over 10 years. At the same time, he graduated with a degree in Photography and Video Editing, and grew a business that specialized in story telling and brand development.
Becoming more interested in the development of his nation, he moved on to working in a community based organization and it was here his love for leadership training, skill building, and mentorship grew. And thus GROW UGANDA took shape.
Eddie sees his country ripe with opportunity, prosperity, and security, and he is working to see that all Ugandans have the chance to grab hold.
Heather Graham-Baguma
Originally from Southern California, Heather now calls Uganda home and has stepped on board to help manage GROW's program assessments. She first came to Uganda while working for a church in the Northwest, and it was on the first trip she met her husband.
Receiving a degree from San Diego State University in Systems Management, Heather has spent time in both the for and non-profit sectors, specifically developing and leading teams to work in youth programs, guest relations, and project management.
She believes in empowering local Ugandan's to make their own choices to better their own futures and looks forward to the day GROW opens their internship programs to local and overseas students, allowing them to learn from each others' perspectives.
MAWUYA ANTHONY
Growing up smack dab in Mpigi, he knows the community and the land like the back of his hand.
Most of his life, he has farmed and raised crops, allowing him to know just what is needed to get the maize, beans, and passion fruits ready for harvest, which is exactly what he does for us on GROW's land.
​
More than just keeping our crops growing, he is our go to for keeping the compound safe, secure, and organized. He is looking forward to the day we can acquire more land to add acreage to the crop rotation.
