Our Mission:
The International HUG Foundation is a non-profit organization whose mission is to reach out to disadvantaged and orphaned children in Uganda. We seek to provide them with education, access to healthcare, and an environment that fosters their physical, social, and emotional development. i.HUG’s use of local resources will ensure the sustainability of the mission, and will enable us to leverage successes to benefit the entire community.
Our Programs
i.HUG currently has two projects.
-Sponsorship Program
Sponsors donate $360 a year to sponsor a needy child who cannot afford to go to school. That pays for the child’s school fees, school uniform, books and basic healthcare. Sponsors are matched with a needy child, and they receive a photo and profile, as well as some correspondence from the child throughout the year. To find our more about this program, click here.
-The Seeds Project `````
While our sponsorship project provides immediate relief, our second, long-term project embodies our philosophy of Sustainable Education and Ethical Development—what we call “The SEEDs Project.” Here, we are raising funds to establish a primary school in Kabalagala. As the project grows, i.HUG expects to attract fee-paying students who will help subsidize the cost of running the school. However, in order to open it initially, we are inviting people to contribute to our fundraising efforts. To find out more about this project, click here.
