Neutrality In order to continue to enjoy the confidence of all, NAAU may not take sides in hostilities or engage at any time in controversies of a political, racial, religious or ideological nature. |
Humanity

It promotes mutual understanding, friendship, cooperation and lasting peace amongst all peoples. |
Partner Focus We continuously create long term value for our partners by responding to their needs and requirements as well as creating innovative sustenance and development programs that add value to our partners, the youth and their communities. Because our success is dependent on the success of our partners, we always measure our work against how much value we add to them. |
Dedication We earn and maintain our development partners’ and beneficiaries’ respect and trust through our dedication to deliver on our promises. Our dedication is deeply rooted in all our workforce’s efforts that are aimed at creating value for the Youths and facilitating the fruition of our partners’ objectives while at the same time improving our capabilities. |
Professionalism We encourage all our staff to follow professional ethics in all their work. Our internal processes are designed to exceed our partners’ needs and expectations while exhibiting a high level of professionalism in our innovation of Youth sustenance and development programs and through our service delivery chains. |
Integrity With the quality of having a sense of honesty and truthfulness in regards to all our actions, we ensure that the organization’s integrity is maintained. Our inherent adherence to delivering on our promises and keeping our word is a valuable asset in winning our beneficiaries’ and partners’ respect and trust. |
Teamwork We encourage our staff to contribute with their different skills and express their individual opinions to the unity and efficiency of the group in order to achieve our goals. Our history As one of the nation’s premier civil society organizations, NAAU is dedicated to helping people in need throughout the Uganda and, in association with other organizations, throughout the world. We depend on various contributions from the Ugandan public and foreign donations to support our lifesaving services and programs. NAAU was founded in 2010 as an effort to promote and direct social, economic, and environmental change in Uganda through activism that tries to persuade people to change their behavior directly, rather than persuade government to change its character or laws. Our persuasion as an organization is that of a non-violent player firmly glued to the belief that once the people are armed with correct and relevant information, they will determine their destiny no matter how long it takes. Provision of relevant and adequate information to the public is the main pre-occupation of NAAU. All outreach communication channels including social media that can deliver information to professionals, laborers, farmers, traders, students, industrialists, merchants, civil society workers, politicians, and other categories of people are employed. Today, the supporters, volunteers and employees of NAAU provide compassionate care in four critical areas:
