    Mama Africa Cultural village is dedicated to improving the lives of Vulnerable people especially orphans, disadvantaged mothers and youth in Uganda, around Kibale Forest national park through Education, Health and woman empowerment and daily life support.We use Cultural tourism activities as a driving tool to make a difference in our community

    I believe travel isn't about reaching the destination but about learning, seeing, experiencing and meeting new people. Have you Ever wondered on how you could volunteer and still have time to enjoy your trip around the country, I want to help you to get most out of your visit to Uganda and make dream come true whether you want to do a safari or hike tour, take a boat trip or visit a local community.

    Organisation is based in Kibale Forest National park ,just 10 mins from Kanyanchu visitor's center, Kibale National park headquarters for chimpanzee permits on fort Portal kamwenge road and is just one hour drive from Fort portal Tourism City and consists of
    various projects.

    1.Responsible Tourism.
    We try to benefit the local community from Eco-tourism by providing Tour and travel services in the names of African Gorilla Adventures,home stays,campsite to foreigner guests and connecting them with activities run by locals(mama africa cultural village) and 40% of money collected goes back to support the community. ask for a website.

    Nursery School

    Currently we offer schooling to 60 children in our nursery school 10 sponsorships of orphans in both primary and secondary schools and 15 doing vocational courses. And an our dream is to guarantee our little ones a better education by providing the educational team with more experience. We want our school to be a space for experiential growth and exchange of knowledge and cultures!
    The lead cause for school dropouts in Uganda is poverty. Most families survive on less than 1 US-$ per day and parents from such families often cannot afford paying school fees and providing school requirements for their children. Our sponsorship program supports children from poor and vulnerable backgrounds to enrol, keep in school and complete their education. We provide children with school fees and other school needs as well as supporting children and their families to becomes economically self reliant.

    3.craft making
    Most residents in villages around Kibale Forest are farmers without regular income. Many of them know how to make crafts for every day life from different materials like papyrus,banana leaves,Eucalyptus trees 4.Currently we have 15 women and 6men to see their hand made items. We are planning to start anew project for example reusable sanitary pads for young girls and women who are not able to afford them will be beneficiaries and we plan on teaching them how to make them.

    5.piggery.
    We recently we gave away pigs to 15 different families in different villages in 2 year time and we shall continue to expand the project to different families we started with.
    We started with pigs,families take care of them,when they produce,the pass the off spring to another family. The aim is to provide a pig for every family which will help them to pay for children school education.

    6.Cultural Group
    Involve 15 locals,who practice traditional dance we help them connect with tourist resorts ,to earn some money by performing for foreigner guests.

    7.Health Education
    By teaching local people about HIV/AIDS,Hygiene ,sanitation ,family planning, environmental conservation, we try to create a better future for local communities.

    8.keep A Girl Child in school
    Here in Uganda,a girl child is seen as a commodity through which the family can earn livelihood, especially in vulnerable communities in Uganda. She is traded into marriage as a child and expected to live as an adult. Her dilemma which is rooted in traditional cultural perceptions has been escalated by Very many factors.

    We work with our Sponsors to Keep Girls in School by Providing to them:
    With School Fees,
    With Sanitary Towels
    Washing soap
    Guidance & Councilling .
    Our target is to donate pads to 500 teenages every year, though some times the target fails due to lack of finances

    The Aims of the Organization is to to give a hand of support to local community especially to the
    people around Kibale forest national park whose crops are ever destroyed by wild animals
    and this has made them starve and poor which led high school drop out due to lack of tuition. through Health care,Education, job creation connecting local people in cultural activities, and tradition such as to contribute to the lives of less privileged children,orphans, farmers and un employed people that live around Kibale Forest Near Bigodi.

    REQUEST TO OUR FRIENDS.

    Clothing.

    Many travelers ask what clothes they are supposed to bring to Uganda. Of course, it depends on what you're most comfortable in. However, do not think that because this is Africa you needn't bring anything fashionable. People in Uganda dress very well! Colorful dresses, good jeans, branded shirts, shining shoes; Ugandans like to look good. It's possible to wear short clothing like skirts, dresses and shorts, just leave your sexy hot pants home. At the accommodation, you'll probably want to wear thin, short clothing and flip-flops. Keep in mind that items are cheaper here and that you can even have your custom clothing tailored here. You will pick a fabric and explain or even draw what you would like to have (jumpsuit, trousers, jacket) and voila: your personal design clothing.
