SUP Community initiative Africa is a nonprofit organization in Uganda working to shape & empower the communities. Due to high vulnerability levels among communities with particular emphasis to those communities located in rural and slum areas of Uganda, very many individuals and households have become extremely vulnerable without ability to recover. Among those most vulnerable have been people living with chronic illness, Women, stigma, children, youths, people living with disabilities (PWDs) and elderly.
It’s upon this background that SUP was formed as a Community Based Organisation on 2013 and thereafter registered as a Non Governmental Organisation in 2022 so as to reduce the devastating effects of these community challenges in the country by availing a platform and opportunity to support them respond to their own vulnerabilities through capacity building, livelihood support, advocacy against gender based violence, and environmental health promotion.
