Akiiki initiative
We are part of the Akiiki initiative that brings together like-hearted people and so we had the pleasure to host one of our family members Bafrika Creationz from Entebbe (Uganda’s main airport) in Karamoja.
Bafrika Creationz
Bafrika Creationz is a renown art gallery in Uganda for it’s beautiful artwork and it’s social contribution by offering art classes to the local community for free.
This is the start of a future partnership of linking Karimojong souvenir producers to the most popular markets in Uganda. Bafrika Creationz and Kara-Tunga have committed to train Karimojong youth in painting.
Staying safe off-the-beaten-path in East Africa’s most remote areas comes with a responsibility. Karamoja Tourism Academy therefore hosted an introduction to First Aid training for Adventure Tourism Guides by our project colleagues of UG-Motobike and facilitated by Safety Council Uganda.
