Working with communities

 

We strive to create a better future through and beyond the bounds of our core business. Our approach to Communities and Corporate Social Responsibility is to secure and maintain lasting relationships with those communities affected by our operations and activities. We want to be a trusted partner to all affected communities throughout the life cycle of our operations.

Fundamental to this approach is the shared understanding of the impacts and benefits our business brings. Using our local knowledge, we engage with communities and develop programmes that reflect mutually agreed priorities.

We support community programs focusing on Health, Education, Livelihoods Development, Infrastructure and Environment.

Hima Cement Ltd. aims at improving the learning environment in schools so as to retain students. Hima Cement Ltd. launched the green schools project activities in Uganda in June 2008 among other projects.

Hima Cement was one of the first companies to establish a community ART clinic to be run with the staff clinic.

Hima Cement in partnership with SOS Children’s Villages Fort Portal joined hands to launch a Livelihood Development Project in Harugongo Sub County.
