In the Financial Year 2020, Youth Compassion for Humanity Uganda and partners worked in over 20 communities in Uganda to reach about 3000 people directly through 5 projects and initiatives. YCFH Uganda also reached a number of people indirectly through its advocacy, replication of successful programs and scale up of innovations.
We work to provide relief in times of crisis and build capacity in the affected communities to increase their progress. A nation’s ability to build and sustain a democratic and well-governed system that responds to the needs of its citizens is diminished or absent when affected by conflict or natural disaster. Conflicts, disasters, and human rights abuses threaten people’s lives and health, displace people, divide families, destabilize societies, and erode living standards. All countries face some risk of humanitarian emergency. An estimated 37 million people around the world are currently uprooted from their homes, 820 million do not have enough food to eat, and millions more are affected by conflict and disasters where they live. Humanitarian assistance responds to their needs, and transforms affected countries by forging a path toward recovery, growth, and stability.
The goal of humanitarian assistance is to save lives, alleviate suffering, and minimize the economic costs of conflict, disasters, and displacement. It requires urgent responses to rapid-onset emergencies, and concerted efforts to address hunger and protracted crisis situations, and build capacity to prevent and mitigate the effects of conflict and disasters.
We are committed to change lives positively and make significant improvements in the lives of the marginalized/vulnerable population.
