Project Moroto is staffed by 4 local Ugandans: one live-in Mama who cooks and cares for the girls; one night watchman; one gardener/day watchman; and one Manager who oversees the day to day running of our home including ensuring the wellbeing of the girls, staff, and compound.

There is also a three person voluntary Management Team of local Ugandans to ensure the smooth running of the Project overall and good care of the girls.

Jayne – also a volunteer – is responsible for fundraising and the on-going development of Project Moroto and is largely based in New Zealand. She aims to visit Moroto every year to oversee the project.

Jayne Bailey – Executive Director:

Jayne is the founder of Project Moroto and Alakara Home. She is not only the visionary behind all that has happened so far in Project Moroto’s journey but she is also deeply committed to bring out the potential of all the girls who enter Alakara Home. This she does, not just by raising funds, but by visiting Moroto for 5-6 months every year to love, inspire and care for the girls.
