Faces Up Uganda

We are addressing the most critical and urgent psychosocial needs affecting over 6 million children in Uganda. We do this by extending life-transforming opportunities in underserved communities where GBV is high, extreme unemployment and substance and drug abuse is high. Our arts education programs empower children to:

1. Express themselves creatively, building both transferable and hands-on skills that open new career pathways for them.

2. Develop essential Social Emotional Learning (SEL) skill to live and lead a happy life.

3. Design and lead sustainable projects that address some of the key pressing issues in their communities; an in groups of 5s, pitch for a seed investment between 50-150 USD.

In addition to all the great work we do, we have established an e-commerce (https://store.facesup.org) platform that gives young people in Uganda access to both local and international market to promote their pieces thus raise money to fund their education and livelihoods.
