About Us

Lived experience
changes lives.

U-ACT Uganda is a community peer support hub operating under the We Do / U-ACT / MAUNi ecosystem. We bring recovery coaching, peer-led support, and lived experience to communities across Uganda.

We don't do jargon. We don't do judgement. We do real conversations between people who understand — because we've been there too.

Peer-Led

Support is delivered by people with lived experience of addiction and recovery — not observers, but fellow travellers.

Community-Rooted

We operate in and from the community — building trust, not dependency. No hierarchy. Just people showing up for each other.

Confidential & Safe

Every conversation stays within the container. What's shared here, stays here. Safety is non-negotiable.

Our Work

What We Do

Peer Support Groups

Regular group sessions facilitated by trained peer coaches. Open, honest conversations in a safe container.

One-to-One Coaching

Individual recovery coaching sessions connecting people with a peer coach who has walked a similar path.

Recovery Programmes

Structured WRP modules covering spiritual principles, values, and the foundations of lasting recovery.

Crisis Outreach

Community-based crisis support connecting people in acute need with peer coaches who can help.

Family Support

We work with families and loved ones too — because recovery touches everyone in the circle.

Lived Experience Training

Training local people to become peer coaches and carry the work forward in their own communities.

The people behind the work.

Lead Recovery Coach — Uganda

Bruno Martin
Tumusiime

Lead Coach · HOPE Foundation · U-ACT Uganda

Bruno is a humanitarian worker with over eight years of experience driving community recovery and welfare across designated districts of Uganda. He is the Founder and Executive Director of the HOPE Foundation and Faith Secondary School — a Christian nonprofit he built from nothing in Hoima, Western Region, to give young people an education when no other option existed.

Bruno's lived experience and faith-rooted approach to recovery are what make him not just a coach, but a genuine community anchor. He founded Faith Secondary School, Hoima — the first school in the community — so that children who would otherwise have had no options can have one. With limited resources, students grow their own food. The school keeps going on faith, determination, and the generosity of people who believe in the work.
