About Putti Village Assistance Organization
Putti Village Assistance Organization (PVAO - formerly known as The Committee To Save Ugandan Jewry) was founded in 2007 at the University of Chicago. We quickly expanded to branches in Western Massachusetts, the D.C. Metro Area, the Chicago Metro Area, South Africa, the United Kingdom, New York, and Israel. PVAO is always looking to expand to other areas. We have many activists across the globe who are working in concert to help this community become economically, educationally, and ecologically sustainable. The Abayudaya (Jews) of Putti, Uganda are unique in that they
practice Orthodox Rabbinic Judaism. Unfortunately Putti receives significantly less help from other organizations than other Abayudaya tribes. PVAO is aiming to address this disparity and is the only non-profit setup with the exclusive aim of aiding the Jews of Putti, Uganda to attain a sustainable life. Our activists and donors are comprised of both Jews and non Jews from all over the world - this is not a partisan issue! Indeed, we are working on collaborative projects with neighboring Christian and Muslim villages. If you have questions please do not hesitate to Contact Us.
