Supporting sustainable community projects in Uganda since 2008

 

Welcome to HUG

‘HUG – Help Us Grow’ is an Australian-based not-for-profit organisation that has been working to implement and support sustainable community projects in the beautiful rural villages of Uganda in East Africa since 2008.

Through ongoing partnerships with local communities we are able to establish grassroots educational, health and agricultural-based initiatives which continue to empower Ugandan people to make a sustainable difference in their own lives.

As well as this, HUG also focuses on creating real connections and meaningful partnerships between participants from the programs in Uganda and inspired schools, families, businesses and individuals in Australia. The relationships that are being formed through these connections ensure that HUG’s projects truly do Help Us (all) Grow.
