Our Community in Action
We believe that thriving communities are built through shared culture, mutual support, and lasting connections. Our programs use a holistic, “circle of care” approach—designed to meet the social, cultural, and economic needs of Ugandans and East Africans in British Columbia.
From nourishing meals for the vulnerable, to mentorship programs for Black youth, to vibrant festivals and markets that celebrate our heritage, we’re weaving together the threads of tradition, empowerment, and community resilience. Here, every action creates a ripple—uplifting families, inspiring youth, and building a brighter future for all.
COMMUNITY CELEBRATION
We create vibrant spaces where people of all backgrounds can connect, learn, and belong. These experiences inspire curiosity, build valuable skills, that strengthen cultural pride while fostering friendships, sparking understanding, and nurturing meaningful connections that bring our communities closer together.
