It was in 1986 when we started our stationery business, leading up to 1998 when the first Picfare branded product came out from our stable. Now with a vast product portfolio, Picfare has become "a one stop solution provider to paper printed products requirements" - all thanks to years of continuous investment in technology and machinery up-gradation.
At Picfare, we believe we should go beyond our success and the basics of ethical business practices. We must, even as we grow, embrace our responsibility to people, processes and to our planet. Only this total commitment can bring us sustained and collective value to our shareholders, our employees, our customers and our society so much so that we have made it one of the core values of Picfare.
Sure enough then, we have been engaged in society benefited programs specific to schools and education. Our initiatives comprise:
Picfare sponsoring Free medical camp "Uganda Medical Mission”
Picfare Industries Ltd along with its other group company SRNL sponsored a 11 day Medical camp at their factory premises between 12th Aug, 08 - 22nd Aug, 08. The Picfare Medical Camp had visiting eminent doctors and medical professionals from USA, Canada, UK and India along with doctors from Uganda. A total of 6760 patients benefitted from the free medical camp and many patients were operated too free of cost. The expenses towards medicines and hospital stay during recuperation were all taken care by the medical camp. Though the organizing of such Medical Camp's is very expensive propostition running into millions of shillings, Picfare Industries Ltd has decided to have this as a annual activity by which the organization actively contributes to the society.
School Badminton Tournament
In partnership with Ministry of Education and Sports, we have initiated the National School Badminton Tournament to promote and nurture sports talent in our country. We organize and sponsor the whole tournament from logistics to prizes; speaks much of our sporting spirit. The event is now part of the national curriculum of Ministry of Education and Sports.
What ’s more, we also donate education related material to many schools, NGO's and Universities on a regular basis.
Scholarship Programs
Started in 2001 with the permission of Ministry of Education and Sports, we award Uganda’s 5 top scoring students of Primary Leaving Examination (PLE) from Central, North, West and East Uganda an annual scholarship of 1.1 Million Ugandan Shillings (630 US $) every year. In fact, now this program has become one of the greatest motivations for PLE students to excel in their examinations.
