Support the Nakujali Foundation in Uganda

The Nakujali Foundation is seeking financial support to help cover the basic costs of its operations and build a healing center.

Nakujali Foundation seeks $20,216 USD to construct a Healing and Empowering Center in Nakivale Refugee Settlement, Uganda. The center will address critical gaps in mental health support, economic opportunity, and community resilience through sustainable, locally-managed programming focused on art, yoga, education and mindfulness.

The center will have a sustainable infrastructure. It will be powered by solar panel and built with eco-bricks! By utilizing plastic bottles as a primary construction material for the Healing and Empowering Center, Nakujali Foundation addresses two urgent needs simultaneously: transforming environmental waste into sustainable building resources while creating affordable, durable community infrastructure.

This innovative approach not only diverts thousands of bottles from the environment but also demonstrates practical circular economy solutions that empower communities to build with locally available materials, reducing construction costs by up to 40% compared to conventional methods while promoting environmental stewardship and community participation in the building process.

The Nakujali team is composed of youth leaders who are deeply committed to supporting their community. They offer trauma-healing yoga classes, sustainability workshops, and basic needs assistance throughout the Nakivale Refugee Settlement, one of the oldest and largest refugee camps in Africa. Their programs support several hundred people from vulnerable communities, especially children and women.

Even a small contribution helps them run their activities smoothly.
