The Volunteers at It’s For Africa

In order to maximize the impact of the donations made to It’s For Africa, our team members volunteer their time and talents without receiving any compensation. Because of this, every penny of the donations to Its For Africa goes directly towards the cost of digging wells, helping Celestial Hands with feminine hygiene and women’s needs, or supporting Remedy Uganda for better village health. Donors may designate which project they want to support!

A Tribute to Pam Moore

Founder & President of It’s For Africa
Pam Moore’s life and work stand as a profound testament to compassion, dedication, and transformative service. As the founder and president of It’s For Africa, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit Pam was committed to helping Ugandans walk out of poverty, Her vision was rooted in a deep respect for human dignity and a belief that sustainable change must come hand-in-hand with empowerment.

Pam didn’t just launch a charity — she ignited a movement of service that extends far beyond the drilling of deep-water wells. Pamela spent 18 months serving a mission for the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints in Uganda alongside her husband Brooks. There she immersed herself in the lives of the community members she served, She learned from them even as she brought vital resources and opportunities to them. After serving her mission Pam realized the crushing poverty and significant needs of the Ugandan people. As a result, she committed herself to teaching Ugandans various ways to help themselves become self-reliant and more prosperous by founding It’s For Africa.

Under Pam’s leadership, It’s For Africa became a platform for sustainable solutions to daily challenges in Uganda. And having access to drinkable water is a problem in hundreds of villages and communities everywhere in Uganda. But Pam found a solution by writing a grant to obtain a deep-water drilling machine called The Village Drill. Pam’s grant was funded, the drill was obtained. A crew of reliable Ugandans was formed and before long schools and villages no longer suffered from drinking contaminated water or finding a shallow well dried up! Though Pam is gone, the drilling of deep-water wells will continue and her legacy will continue.

Pam was also passionate about empowering women through the creation of reusable feminine hygiene kits and micro-enterprises crafted with local materials. She championed initiatives that honored both self-reliance and human potential, guiding Ugandan partners to lead their own drilling teams and fostering income-generating skills that infused communities with pride, hope, and economic opportunity.

Back home in the United States, Pam’s passion inspired countless volunteers as she rallied them to raise awareness about the dignity and strength of those she served. Her approach was never about giving handouts, but about creating pathways for meaningful, lasting transformation.

Pam Moore’s legacy with It’s For Africa is one of compassion in action, of leadership grounded in love, and of unwavering belief in the power of service to change lives. Through her tireless work, she helped countless Ugandans to move closer to health, dignity, and self-reliance — a legacy that will continue to inspire all who encounter the fruits of her labor for years to come.

Lindy Larkin-Price, President

Lindy grew up in Lima, Peru during a dictatorship and constant terrorisim.  She saw first hand what it was like to live in a third world country with significant personal needs and poverty. Lindy moved to the United States when she was 18. She has five married children and twenty grandchildren. In 2009 Lindy was asked by Christian Community Action to teach English to the local Hispanic community.  This volunteer service instilled a desire to help those in challenging situations. She later got involved with the organization 'Days for Girls' in 2018. She personally oversaw the completion of 500 kits. After all that hard work she decided to go to Uganda and distribute the kits personally. Since then she has been to Uganda 3 times not only to help with distributing feminine hygiene kits, but to also educate young girls and women. While there she taught sewing skills to enable families to provide for themselves and be self-reliant.

She currently is working with an orphanage in Uganda to provide school uniforms since that is the only clothing most of the children own.  She works with local businesses, organizations, and individuals to collect fabrics, sewing machines, tools, and basic necessities to distribute in Uganda.  Lindy has a huge love for the Ugandan people and wants to help in any way she can.  Her passion is quilting, sewing, cooking, baking, and dancing.
