Give Hope Uganda
Give Hope Uganda (GHU) is a grassroots youth led and youth serving community based organisation working to advance and promote quality health and well-being for adolescents and young people.
Established in 2016 and formally registered in September 2017. GHU has grown from a grassroots conviction into a locally recognised Civil Society Organisation operating across Kira Municipality in Wakiso district in the central region of Uganda.

Strategic Objectives: Six Focus Areas
Expand access to quality education and healthcare
To improve access to quality education and essential healthcare services for vulnerable populations with a particular focus on adolescent girls and young women who face the greatest systemic barriers.
Strengthen SRHR awareness, access, and education
To enhance awareness of and access to Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) services, information, and education equipping adolescents and young people to make informed, confident decisions about their health and bodies.
Keep children in school and learning
To increase enrolment and retention of children in schools, and to improve learning outcomes — ensuring that every child not only attends school, but gains the knowledge and skills to thrive beyond it.
End child marriage especially for girls
To significantly reduce the number of children particularly girls who are married before the age of 18, by dismantling the social, economic, and cultural drivers that place young lives at risk.
To promote access to clean water, adequate sanitation facilities, and sustainable hygiene practices across the communities.
