Project Description and Impact

Faces Up Uganda is a registered youth-led NGO based in Kampala, Uganda. We explore and employ a 360 degrees empowerment model. Through experiential learning, creative arts mentorship, and hands-on training, the model focuses on equipping young people (8-25 years) with much-needed skills.

We believe art, and creative expression coupled with mentorship helps young people from underserved communities understand the world they live in, find purpose and create meaningful connections among themselves. Thus far the stories prevailing the most still disproportionately represent a select few, often reinforcing stereotypes and discriminatory beliefs about people from underrepresented communities.
