Amid the harsh realities of poverty and hopelessness, children and youth living and working on the streets often find themselves resorting to criminal activities as a desperate means of survival. Hashtag Gulu intervenes by providing targeted life and employable skills training in various fields, including carpentry and joinery, hairdressing, tailoring and garment cutting, bricklaying and concrete practice, and agriculture. Additionally, we offer valuable mentorship to prepare them for reintegrating into the community and achieving an improved livelihood.

Through our programs, we establish essential linkages to available opportunities, such as apprenticeships and eventual employment. We also encourage cooperation and collaboration by facilitating their participation in cooperatives, which can lead to collective gain and support.
