Our Communities
Corporate Social Initiatives
Over many years Uganda Baati (UBL) has developed a systematic and structured approach to Corporate Social Investments (CSI) which is based on our core values. We prefer to use the term ‘investment’ as opposed to ‘responsibility’ as we firmly believe poverty alleviation and socio-economic development in our communities can only be achieved through a sustained approach.
Our CSI strategy encompasses the company’s impact and interaction with society in three distinct areas; internally; with business partners and the voluntary or philanthropic contributions it makes to the communities within which we operate. CSI for us and the Safal Group is a core business pillar.
Our focus areas are: Shelter, Education, Health & the Environment.

Shelter
Shelter
We believe our Communities are our Homes and in partnering with our communities, we have a structured approach to shelter, encompassing re-roofing many projects annually (projects are put through a predetermined qualification process and ‘hand held’ to completion). We are in the roofing business and therefore sheltering the less fortunate members of our society is of prime concern to us.

Corporate Social Responsibility at Uganda Baati through the Chandaria Medical Clinic
Established on 12th June 2016 by the stewardship of the Chandaria Foundation, the CHANDARIA MEDICAL CLINIC located at the Uganda Baati Head Office on Mulwana Road Industrial area, aims to provide and facilitate access to quality health services to staff and the surrounding community, in a caring and competent environment at subsidized costs. The clinic has also extended its services to other impoverished areas of the country through health camps that cater to the medical needs of the people in the specified areas for a certain period.
ART Clinic
The Chandaria clinic through its partnership with UPHS/USAID (Uganda private Health sector Program) started ART Clinic which as per now comprises of 223 HIV positive Clients in chronic care.
The clinic started an EID clinic (Exposed Infant Diagnosis – These are children born to HIV positive mothers) offering full package which includes medication, nutrition and growth monitoring, screening & treating opportunistic infections etc. We currently have 10 mother- baby pairs in this clinic.
Operated by Uganda Baati Limited, the Chandaria Clinic is a very good avenue for the company to develop a good relationship with the community in which we operate. This avenue has been utilized to its full potential which has been realized through the positive perception held by the attendees of the medical camps held annually by the clinic. The Clinic has also been accredited to the Ministry of Health and able to provide ARVs to staff and the community that need them. This was through the HIV/AIDS Work place policy and program.

At UBL, sustainability is not an abstract global issue but a local focus area. Our starting point is to continuously improve and minimise the environmental impact of our own operations, through eco-efficiency in manufacturing. Whether it be reduced Energy or Water consumption or utilising environmentally friendly ‘greener’ fuel sources we run a continuous improvement programme around sustainability and technology development.
