OUR MISSION:
Bavubuka Girls is committed to empowering, educating, and enriching the lives of girls ages 6-16 in Uganda. Promoting sisterhood and leadership, Bavubuka Girls provides adolescent girls with a forum in which they can define themselves, discover their self-worth, and determine their futures.
The Bavubuka Girls Project is an extension of the Bavubuka Foundation, a nonprofit organization that believes that connecting youth with music and the arts can transform lives and unify diverse communities.
The Bavubuka Foundation is dedicated to creating spaces and educational programs that will nurture and empower a new generation of young leaders in Uganda and all of Africa, who will use their voices to communicate positive messages and affect positive change in their communities and the world.
