Hangout For Charity
Giving back through travel
Join our social impact adventures
The travel and tourism industry is one of the world’s largest industries. In 2016, the tourism industry’s global economic contribution was over 7.6 trillion U.S. dollars. Yet, according to the UNEP (United Nations Environment Program), for every $100 spent by a tourist on a holiday to a developing country, only $5 remain in the host community. That’s a tourism leakage of 95%.
With the limitless adventure opportunities in Uganda and consciously considering contributing to social-economic development, social impact adventures have never been more important.
Why Hangout For Charity?
Our aim to give back and support various local communities, build a lasting positive impact to the travelers and host communities. This is not just an ordinary travel project, but also a capacity building platform designed to enable travelers step out of their comfort zone, learn, grow, have fun and network with fellows.
Hangout Foundation is an organization that has over the years (4) worked at a grassroots level to support communities in Eastern Uganda, embracing collaborations, creating access to relevant information and advocating for active citizenship among young people.
