WHY 40% OF PROCEEDS FROM MARO CONCERT 2014 GOES TO UGANDA HANDS FOR HOPE ORGANISATION:

                      Uganda Hands for Hope is a non-profit charity working in Uganda’s poorest slum, Namuwongo. Hands for Hope works with the slum’s most vulnerable children and families – 90% of Namuwongo’s residents live below the absolute poverty line (earn less than 75p a day).
The slum itself is an extremely dangerous place for children. Alcoholism in men is rife and sexual exploitation and prostitution is common. Clean water is accessible, but the hygiene levels are extremely poor with untreated medical conditions an everyday problem. Uganda Hands for Hope offers the most vulnerable children an education, a safe place to spend their days, free medical care, emotional support, and two essential meals a day. They also offer livelihood programmes for struggling mothers, reading & writing skills classes for non-sponsored children, and child protection initiatives. All this is achieved through a sponsorship programme (it costs just £20 a month to sponsor a child) and charitable donations.

      After Maro spending 2 months with the organization as an intern ( in pursuit of his Makerere University Bachelors degree in development studies), he realized a lot of Help was needed to change the lives in the community of Namuwongo. As a way of supporting the works of the organization We decide to give a percentage (40%) of our proceeds to the Uganda hands for hope to continue being "in the community for the community" just as the organization's slogan says!
