In October 2005 we applied to the Ugandan NGO Board to be formally registered as a Non-Governmental Organisation (Charity) in the Republic of Uganda. This was approved and then renewed in December 2006 / 2009 and again in 2014, 2018 and 2024.

In February 2008, Love in Action (International) was formed as a UK Registered Charity (Reg No. 1122493).
