The Hearts Connect, Community Support Program
The Briquettes Project
The Heart2Heart Briquette project is focused on economic empowerment and nature conservation as we decrease on defforestation as we seek to draw people away from using charcoal to the energy saving briquettes. The pilot project was in Kawempe, Kampala. Our briquettes cook faster, last longer and are cheaper. In partnership with Voice of Christ church we are to teach the youth how to make them and earn a reasonable income from the sales. The purpose is to empower and strengthen families economically.
The Hearts Connect is our community giving program which is all the year round.
Needy people visit the Centre for food and clothing while others (needy families) are assessed and given clothing and food throughout the year.
We also hold two special giving events; before the Easter and Christmas holidays where we give out to communities’ food, clothing and a general makeover with haircuts and treatment and an annual children’s party.
