ONE FOR MANY

Hariss International’s CSR culture is derived from its One for Many initiative. Each year, a budget is set aside for this that is segmented into four major pillars:

EDUCATION

The company built the Shared Blessings Junior School, investing towards this project to both complete construction and provide uniforms, scholastic materials and the ability to run its first sports day. The company also donated to children in its Lake Bunyoni project, helping them travel to and from school.

MEDICAL

Hariss has supported the Irene Gleeson foundation in Kitgum in fundraising drives since 2017, supporting two schools, two hospitals and a prison within the local community. These funds have enabled the introduction of a community library, supported research against nodding syndrome and generally helped to eradicate poverty in Kitgum.

YOUTH EMPOWERMENT

Hariss International also supports the Musika Foundation’s Special Children’s Trust annually to create awareness for children living with disability. The company since 2015 has provided scholastic and financial materials. Further, it has developed a long-standing partnership with Dolphin’s Swim Club in Kampala, injecting funds each year to the club’s swimming competitions.

ENVIRONMENTAL CONSERVATION

October 2018 saw Hariss embark on a greening mission in the Luwero district, planting 1,000 fruit trees around various primary schools in the region. Equally, the company partners with Little Hands Go Green during its annual Green Festival that invites 10,000 children to attend. In a bid to enhance recycling and waste segregation, it also distributes recycling bins in various schools across Uganda.
