About Us

Philomera Hope Center Foundation Uganda is a youth-serving Not -for- profit organization started in December 2013.

We work in six thematic areas of: Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), Disability inclusion , Water & Sanitation, Education/Literacy, Leadership & Mentorship, Livelihood support

We do this with an aim of creating 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

Our Vision

PHF’s mission is to empower young people , and other vulnerabilities to maximize their potential and improve their standard of living. PHF visualizes an inclusive society in which human rights, citizenship and potential of young people is respected. The overall goal of PHF is to improve the quality of life of vulnerable groups in Uganda.

OUR APPROACH

We focus on mobilizing resources—human, economic, and natural—for sustainable, life-changing initiatives. We use an asset-based community development approach that encourages self-reliance and inspires appreciation of existing resources in the community and the confidence to build upon them. We constantly challenge ourselves and others to do more with what we have. We believe that with an attitude of resourcefulness, positive change is possible even in low resource settings. We believe that the power to end poverty and achieve sustainable prosperity is in people. Every person can make a difference. Every person is powerful and has something to contribute. When people work together they are even more powerful. We are committed to uniting people for the common good.

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.
