About Moyo, Uganda
Moyo District is a remote district in the West Nile sub-region of Uganda, located in the northwest corner of the country and sharing borders with the Democratic Republic of the Congo and South Sudan. The district hosts more than half of Uganda’s 2 million refugees. Extreme poverty, food insecurity, and limited infrastructure create significant barriers to economic growth and health outcomes. Only 9.5% of households have access to piped water, 11.6% have access to electricity, and 80% of households depend on subsistence agriculture as their primary economic activity. The lack of reliable power, transportation infrastructure, and internet access further limits access to education, healthcare services, and workforce development opportunities.
These conditions are particularly detrimental to maternal, newborn, and child health, as well as to the region’s overall economic development. Limited access to continuing medical education and professional training contributes to shortages of skilled healthcare workers, while the lack of job training opportunities limits pathways to stable employment and income growth.
What is Lonyi Village?
Lonyi Village is Pipeline Worldwide’s 3.4-acre humanitarian lodging and training campus in Moyo. The campus is designed to address systemic barriers by bringing education, healthcare training, and economic opportunity directly to the community. Rather than focusing on short-term aid, Lonyi Village is part of Pipeline’s long-term systems change strategy.
The Innovation Learning Center
The Lonyi Village Innovation Learning Center will support The United Nations Sustainable Development Global Goals and the Uganda’s Ministry of Health’s objectives to reduce maternal mortality, end all preventable deaths under 5 years of age, fight communicable diseases, reduce mortality from non-communicable diseases and promote mental health, support health workforce (recruitment, development, training, and retention), and strengthen capacity for early warning, risk reduction and management of national and global health risks.
The Opportunity Center
The Lonyi Village Opportunity Center is designed as a catalyst for sustainable development and economic empowerment, combining environmentally responsible construction with meaningful workforce opportunities. By utilizing locally sourced materials and resilient building practices, the center reduces its carbon footprint while lowering long-term energy and maintenance costs. At its core, the initiative is focused on increasing access to decent work and equipping youth with practical, on-the-job technical and vocational training—helping address the critical gap for those currently without employment, education, or training. As a result, the center will strengthen the local economy, expand the pool of skilled labor, and create pathways out of poverty for individuals and families across the community.
