Sobre nosotros
Giving Hope Foundation (GHF) is a not-for-profit NGO that Giving Hope Foundation (GHF) is dedicated to working with unprivileged children and communities with the aim of empowering them to improve their own standards of living.
The organization was found in 2011 and is based in Kampala, Uganda. However, in 2019, decided to focus our efforts and resources on working in Hoima District to support unprivileged smallholder farmers.
Our mission is to build thriving grassroots communities where economic prosperity, environmental sustainability and emotional well-being are balanced to the long term benefit of all.
We envision empowered unprivileged communities with supportive environments.
The CORE VALUES are abbreviated in an acronym C.H.I.F.F,
- Creativity: we encourage a safe and supportive space for experimentation and innovation to solve problems
- Humility: we show compassion and endeavour to understand, respect and value every individual
- Integrity: we do what we say
- Fairness: we promote equality and mutual respect; working towards relationships that are inclusive, trusting and
participatory
- Fun: we value the enjoyment in creating friendly and productive working environments
Our objectives are;
1) To raise awareness on viral hepatitis and mental health, as well as fighting related stigma and discrimination in the Albertine region.
2) To reduce mental health illness risk factors and promote emotional well-being.
3) To build solid families and communities by engaging men as loving fathers, friends and role models as well as mentoring young boys.
4) To diversify income sources through improved agriculture, animal husbandry, value addition and the development of a thriving cottage industry.
5) To contribute to mitigating climate change through tree planting, use of appropriate green energy technologies.
Our Strategic focus is:
- Agribusiness; this program targets smallholder farmers where we offer training in smart agriculture as well as increasing access to improved agricultural production technologies, processing, and high-quality agricultural inputs. We also support farmers to access good prices for their farm produce. Under this program, GHF is promoting improved cassava and organic beans growing as well as running an agricultural shop that provides high-quality inputs at affordable prices, and working towards stocking a variety of farming tools & equipment, which farmers can hire at affordable rates.
- Green Energy; under this program, we are promoting the use of cleaner, efficient and affordable Improved Cooking Stoves (ICS), and the making of fuels such as charcoal briquettes. This is also coupled with tree planting and the use
of improved solar lights as key components to improving standards of living and environmental protection. Through this, we are supporting unprivileged communities that play a role in mitigating climate change.
- Wellness; GHF wants to see healthy and thriving communities, which means that health is an important aspect of our programs. This includes the Boys Mentoring program where we aim at empowering young boys with the right morals including work and family ethics as well as basic skills with the hope that they will grow into good men, husbands and fathers. In future, we will run Father’s Clubs, where men will also meet to discuss issues and challenges as a platform for support.
