HIDE Uganda

Empowering Uganda’s youth to lead healthy, dignified, and resilient lives

Background

HIDE-Ug evolved from Project Africa, a charitable initiative that responded to the adverse effects of political insurgencies linked to the Allied Democratic Forces (ADF) rebellion in Kasese District, Western Uganda. The organisation was formally established to address the long-term social, economic, and health consequences of these conflicts by empowering the next generation with relevant health information, life skills, and economic opportunities.

HIDE-Ug believes that access to quality health information, education, and vocational training is fundamental to improving the wellbeing and standards of living of adolescent girls, young women, and vulnerable children. The organization is committed to ensuring that young people are equipped with the resources they need to make informed life choices, while also supporting their spiritual growth and social wellbeing.

HIDE-Ug works in close partnership with government entities, civil society organizations, community structures, and development partners to advocate for the promotion and protection of the rights of adolescent mothers and vulnerable young people across Uganda.
