In the informal settlements of Kalerwe, opportunity is often scarce, but practical skills are changing that trajectory for many children. Through hands-on training organized by Namunye Foundation, young learners are being introduced to art and craft making as both a creative outlet and a pathway to self-reliance.
The program focuses on teaching skills such as raffia skirts making, beadwork, paper craft, fabric design, and recycled-material artistry. Beyond artistic expression, the initiative emphasizes discipline, patience, and problem-solvingβcompetencies essential for long-term personal development. For children growing up in underserved communities across Kampala, these sessions provide structured engagement that keeps them productively occupied while nurturing talent.
