Haileybury Youth Trust
Since 2006, the Trust has operated exclusively in Uganda where it has earned international plaudits for its work developing environmentally-sustainable building projects with local villagers and craftspeople.
The Haileybury Youth Trust (HYT) began life in 1890 in the East End of London, where the great British prime minister (and former Haileyburian), Clement Attlee, was once the Trust’s manager.
Uganda is one of the poorest countries in Africa while its population is one of the fastest-growing on earth. There is an urgent need for skills training and for developing employment opportunities, while at the same time meeting basic humanitarian needs.
HYT trains young Ugandans in innovative, carbon-saving building technology, giving them construction skills that improve education, opportunity and livelihoods.
Please donate today to help train young Ugandans in an innovative, carbon-saving building technology, giving them construction skills that improve education, opportunity and livelihoods.
“What struck me most was the genuine gratitude of the children and teachers at the school where we donated the water tank. It has truly made a difference—giving the children more time to learn instead of spending hours fetching water.”
Colin Parry (former parent) reflecting on his visit to Haileybury Youth Trust in Uganda
