Our Impact
As an organisation in tune with the constant flux of the modern world, UHfH has been changing rapidly, growing and adding staff, volunteers and funding from all over the world. As we have grown as an organisation, so has our reach and our impact on the community of Namuwongo – we now support over 350 children and their families through our different areas of work.
