BACKGROUND OF THE ORGANISATION

        INTRODUCTION

Hope for the Upcoming Generation (HUPGEN) traces its origin in 2004, when a group of youths in Masajja parish Ssabagabo Makindye Subcounty in Wakiso district in Uganda East of Africa came up with the idea of setting up a youth community based organization to act as a voice for the youths and a place where their grievances would be heard and solved.

The name “HOPE FOR THE UPCOMING GENERATION” was derived from the need to restore the general lack of hope that existed especially among the youths and children for their future, by giving them the necessary practical skills for future self sustenance and equip them with life planning skills through peer education programmes.

HUPGEN later realized the need to be registered in order to do its work more effectively and efficiently. Thus in 2006, HUPGEN was registered by the Directorate of community based services, Wakiso district in Uganda, East of Africa, under registration number WCBO / 327 / 06.

The local leadership welcomed welcomed the project due to its tangible contributions since its inception in improving the living conditions of the vulnerable youths and children. The youths are trained in life skills, computer and vocational programs like carpentry, tailoring, knitting, Hair dressing etc.
