Becoming one
On July 1st, 2026, One Heart joined with Musana to become Musana Global. Musana began in 2008 with the same vision as One Heart - to empower children to fulfil their potential and break the cycles of generational poverty. Like One Heart, Musana wanted to achieve this sustainably through the creation of enterprises that generate local revenue to support scholarships, health care and safe homes. After both organisations co-founders met in 2024, the question became - why replicate when we can collaborate?
Watch the video from Dean Landy, Founder of One Heart with Andrea & Haril Kazindra, co-Founders of Musana to hear their heart behind the merger.

Same heart, scalable model
Musana are a locally led organisation based in Uganda.
They build and run successful schools, hospitals and social enterprises that generate revenue, create jobs, and reinvest in the local community. Today they cover 100%+ of their operating costs through locally generated income, employ 860+ local staff and run 19 self-sustaining enterprises. They are the largest private employer in every district they serve.
In short, Musana have built what we have always dreamed of: a model that is locally led, genuinely self-sustaining, built to last for generations empowering local communities to break the cycles of poverty.
We are so thankful to have crossed paths and be joining as one - we are better together.
“Our focus was on empowering individual children to fulfil their potential. Now we are working to unlock the potential of entire local communities.”
