More on Humanitarian Care Uganda
Humanitarian Care Uganda has recognised the heightened need for health and development services. This need has set the foundation for Humanitarian Care Uganda to be established to provide humanitarian assistance that is centered on improving the conditions of a target group which is poor, inadequately educated, unemployed or in non-productive job (low human and social capital). Indeed the social welfare set up of the country as well as the community infrastructure cannot substitute or supplement them as they are facing the same inadequacies as the individual. The goal of Humanitarian Care Uganda is to improve the quality of life for the destitute disabled and physically handicapped homeless , orphans, the sick and Caregivers of the above Categories of may target groups by providing them access to health care, livelihood opportunity and protection, thereby enabling them to constructively contribute to their communities.

A group of Ugandans and their development partners have come together to actively find ways to access the social development needs of the orphans, the poor, the marginalized people in the face of the devastating effects of the HIV/AIDS pandemic and other social stigmatization. It is against this background that Humanitarian Care Uganda was established. Born out of Nikki Industry -- a business entity established in 1997, Humanitarian Care Uganda was founded by concerned Ugandans and their development partners in response to the need to address and redress a situation overwhelmed by inadequate coping resources of entire communities. These communities are the target group and the focus of the programmes being developed by Humanitarian Care Uganda.
