Our Projects

Children’s library

Our love for storytelling for social good has inspired us to engage with diverse groups of people including children who are the next generation of leaders. In our journey to tell their stories. We have met several children that struggle to read, the majority of these are enrolled in schools without libraries. Sadly these are both private and government-owned. Some of these children additionally belong to orphanages that are still finding their feet on the ground. Seeing children struggle to access books that many are privileged to have is heartbreaking and an opportunity to do more good in our societies and countries thus igniting the fire to give birth to the children’s library project. Our target is to raise 10.000 Storybooks for 10 rural schools in Uganda without libraries.

ONGOING

Hats For a Cause Campaign

We use Storytelling as a huge contributor to the fight to end HIV/AIDS. We have featured stories of young men and women living with HIV/AIDS through a partnership with UBC Radio and Television. These have educated the public about the disease and encouraged those infected to live normal ordinary lives.

HIV/AIDS media awareness campaign

Together for good campaign

The Together for Good campaign was launched as a covid 19 relief fundraiser to give back to vulnerable families that lacked a source of income for survival. We sold 100 T-shirts for 6 dollars in Uganda and Kenya as a way of raising funds and showing solidarity for one another. We set up five grocery stalls and provided income to 30 families.

COVID 2020

Anniversary Walkathons/Marathons

Every year in September as we celebrate our birthday, we walk or run for a good cause to give back to a group of people that need help. In 2019, under the heavy pour, we walked for children with autism, and all the proceeds were used to renovate the school structure at The Dorna Center for Autism. In 2022 after Covid, we had a run for impact that raised funds to support vulnerable children at Nkono Memorial School, in Namutumba District, Eastern Uganda with scholastic items.

Nights and Stories

Nights and Stories is a themed live bonfire storytelling night that brings together people from all social spaces to tell and listen to stories that sow hope, remind us of our shared humanity, educate us about social issues affecting us, evoke compassion in us and inspire us to be better human beings.

The event relives the old tradition of storytelling around fireplaces as foreseen by our grandparents. It began in 2018 at Save Street Children Uganda. It attracted fifteen people and over the years has grown to 300 people.

The Kaccupa Campaign

Kaccupa originates from Uganda’s most spoken language called “Luganda” and it means a bottle. When the covid 19 pandemic broke out, the government together with the Ministry of Health was encouraging the public to wash their hands with soap and sanitizer, however, some people could not afford these items including those in my community. Together with our community friends from Gracious Hands Foundation, we made our local sanitizer, packaged it in bottles, and distributed it to over thirty homes that could not afford sanitizer or a piece of soap in addition to setting up tippy tanks in the busy areas of our community.

COVID 2020

Sanitary Pack Campaign

We shared a story of how girls at Nkono Memorial School we're struggling to access sanitary items. We mobilized for support and with the help of Afripads raised 200 reusable girls.

Storytelling for self-expression

Our story began with street children at Save Street Children Uganda in 2018, because the center is a rehabilitation home, we introduced reading, writing, and art sessions as a way of teaching the children how to express themselves freely, tell their stories, and identify with the people they relate with.

How We Tell Stories

How to

We identify change-makers from different walks of life

These are people that are usually unknown and unrecognized. Our stories aim to highlight the work of these unsung heroes, creating conversations about how we can all impact our communities.

A Story for Fundraising

We all have stories to tell, even the marginalized. We not only amplify stories of young girls and boys struggling to get an education, single mothers, the elderly, autistic & street children but also use these stories to run fundraising and awareness campaigns to support them.

Tell a Story Clubs

It is not the stories that we don't have, it's the ability to amplify these stories. Through these storytelling clubs, children, men, women, and communities are equipped with storytelling skills that enable them to tell their stories uniquely, originally and boldly.
