Tour of Karamoja Ride4GirlChild participants and friends have fundraised $7,525 for 15 scholarships going to vulnerable girls from host communities along the Warrior Nomad tourist trail through northeast Uganda. The girls will get a life-changing opportunity through a fully funded vocational training at Matany Girls Vocational School.
Until recently, Karamoja was barely a blip on the map. Yet, the breathtaking landscapes and rich cultural heritage are a hard contrast with visible signs of severe poverty and struggle, as Karamoja stands as one of the world’s most impoverished regions.
The Tour of Karamoja is more than just a bike event. It is an opportunity to experience the rich culture and stunning scenery of least travelled East Africa. Riders will meet different cultures, see untouched landscapes and create opportunities for the most vulnerable girls in this area.
Launch of Tourism trails in The Pearl of Africa – The 3-year project is aimed at improving and diversifying products in adventure and cultural tourism in Uganda’s East and Northeast (Sebei and Karamoja subregions).
The Warrior Nomad Trail is developed to inspire tourists to travel beyond the usual wildlife attractions in East Africa. The Trail Pass is a personal souvenir with key travel information, tips on things to do and a document to capture memorable moments on your adventure.
