Rooted in culture, charting our pathway to the future we envision
26 YEARS
of interrogating surface-level solutions and tackling the most pressing problems in Uganda (and the diaspora)
The Nnabagereka Development Foundation's mission is to leverage culture to improve the quality of life of children, youth, women & men.
We blend Obuntubulamu – a recognised human capital asset – into everything we do as we make bold steps towards the future we envision: An equitable, inclusive, and peaceful environment, grounded in human virtues.
