2023: A Year of Action
With your support, we set the groundwork for an incredible new year for the residents of Nakuwadde, Uganda. Our 2023 highlights include:
Witnessing the beneficiaries of our Secondary Scholarship Program graduate from university!
We launched new events like our First Annual Pickleball Tournament, a summer gratitude dinner, and a week-long Dance of Hope residency. We partnered with incredible partners like AIA Ambassador Chinobay, Ugandan veterinarian Dr Gladys Kalema, Jazz Aspen Snowmass, and William H. Macy at magical spaces like Kevin Costner's Dunbar Ranch and MOLLIE Aspen. It was quite the year to remember.
