Our Story
Philomera Hope Center Foundation Uganda is a youth-serving Not-for- profit organization started in December 2013.
Our aim is to create a platform for young people to amplify their voices, innovate for change and contribute to achieving sustainable development in Uganda. The establishment of PHF was inspired with the realization that young people face heightened marginalization on account of sex, gender and socio-cultural norms. They are among the poorest in their communities and efforts to address their plight are hindered by lack of coordination and sufficient information. This necessitated the birth of PHF to design self-help community-based development programs for young people in Uganda.
WE FACILITATE CHANGE BY: ADVOCACY
Bringing together voices of the community; ongoing efforts of local groups and organizations; local resources identified in the community and connecting all the above with international students, professionals and donors who want to make a difference. Since better results come from working together, we strive to combine diverse experiences, talents, and perspectives to make stronger outcomes. We believe that respecting diverse perspectives is critical for constructive dialogue and meaningful progress. We deliberately seek out those perspectives and engage the community in dialogue around important issues. We put our heads together with the community at the lead to address issues and bring solutions into reality in a sustainable and locally appropriate way.
