Our Journey
Transforming Lives Through Inclusion
Our Organization
Inclusive Hearts Uganda was established in response to the pressing need for social inclusion among marginalized communities. We recognized the systemic barriers faced by youth, women, and persons with disabilities in Uganda, and embarked on a mission to dismantle these obstacles. With a vision of equality and empowerment, we began our journey to create platforms for participation and growth.
Our Growth
Over the years, Inclusive Hearts Uganda has expanded its reach and impact through various community-based initiatives. We have successfully launched programs aimed at skill development, advocacy for inclusive policies, mental health promotion, and awareness campaigns. Our commitment to fostering a culture of respect and acceptance continues to drive our efforts and inspires positive change within communities.
Our Impact
Through our dedicated work, we have empowered countless individuals and families, leading to improved livelihoods and increased participation in societal affairs. The stories of transformation from those we serve motivate us to keep pursuing our mission. As we look forward, we remain steadfast in our commitment to creating a society where diversity is celebrated and everyone has the opportunity to thrive.
Our Impactful Initiatives
Celebrating Success in Social Inclusion
Skill Development Workshops
We successfully conducted a series of skill development workshops that equipped over 1550 young individuals with essential vocational skills, enhancing their employability and self-sufficiency.
Community Awareness Campaigns
Our awareness campaigns reached thousands across Uganda, promoting the importance of social inclusion and the rights of persons with disabilities, leading to a more informed and accepting community.
Mental health and well-being promotion
Our “Desire to Be Hub” is a safe space where our beneficiaries feel physically and emotionally secure. This started as an online service where girls and women were reached on WhatsApp, SMS, messenger, and phone class. Even with this, there was still a need of meeting the vulnerable girls physically. IHU is graduating to providing a physical safe space for girls and women where they feel protected from bodily harm, including sexual abuse. In our safe space, girls feel free to openly express themselves in a confidential environment, without fear of judgment or intimidation.
