HUG Charity Foundation
HUG aims to encourage all people to embrace the world as one. Supporting people in Uganda to make a positive difference in their own lives.
HUG (Help Us Grow) Charity Foundation supports sustainable community projects in rural Uganda and East Africa to empower local communities to make a sustainable difference in their own lives. Its Smiling Hearts initiative is aimed at providing young people living with disabilities education and training to help boost employment outcomes and to ultimately build a greater sense of belonging and self-worth.
2021 Pitch
Funds Raised: $63,000
Co-Founder Loretta pitched at the 12 August Virtual Event to expand the Smiling Hearts vocational skills training program to support more young people living with disabilities in the local community. She pitched for a bus to be able to transport the young people to and from the training centre and for resources to support the sewing component of the program.
The Impact…
Following on from the crowdfunding event in August, Smiling Hearts quickly got to work on the ground distributing funds to support their education and employment initiatives in Uganda.
