HUG is an Australian based not-for-profit organization that focuses on establishing sustainable partnerships between two different cultures by working on two different levels. Firstly by connecting Australian individuals, families, businesses and schools to similar people in Uganda, aiming to have a positive impact on individuals and communities on both sides of the world. Secondly HUG implements grassroots agricultural and educational projects in Uganda. Our aim is to assist Ugandans and empower them to make a sustainable difference to their own lives.

HUG Calendar back in 2011
Due to an overwhelming number of requests towards the end of last year for our HUG Calendars, we have decided to produce them again for 2011. HUG is now committed to working towards the development of a Community Health Clinic, which will further enhance the wonderful work being done at our Suubi Education and Community Centre. With this in mind we see the pre sale of HUG 2011 Calendars as an ideal way to kick off fund raising for this very exciting next step at Suubi.

The addition of the HUG Shop to our website proved to be very popular over the Christmas period. Many people took the opportunity to buy a gift for their family and friends that will benefit the Ugandans, while their loved ones were lucky enough to receive a voucher that entitles them to 12 months of free HUGs!
The
HUG Shop will continue to operate throughout the year and is a fabulous alternative for any gift giving opportunity. After all everyone loves a HUG!
