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.​​​​​​​

Education

Education is a powerful tool that opens doors to opportunity, drives social mobility, and plays a pivotal role in reducing inequality. It serves as a cornerstone for breaking the cycle of poverty and nurturing progressive societies. Individuals with access to quality education are better equipped to mitigate health risks and realize their full potential. However, a staggering number of children and adolescents in Uganda, are deprived of this fundamental right. At Hima Cement, we believe in making a positive impact beyond our core operations. One way we do this is by contributing to the enhancement of access to learning opportunities through school infrastructure development, providing scholastic materials, supporting teachers and offering scholarships for secondary education.
