Introducing the Bag Yange Campaign

Education is the best gift a child can have, and because of this, children deserve equal access to education across the divide. A number of children in the rural areas of Uganda especially those from low-income families still suffer from limited resources and tools to support their education which hinders their learning, interactions, growth and perfomance at school.
Its with background that Streetlights Uganda under the @ntungaprogram
and Bag Yange Project are launching a campaign themed #BagYangeCampaign. The aim of the campaign is to make 200 bags to be distributed to children at Buseruka Primary School in Hoima District at the start of 2023 to help them carry and protect their school items in one place but also feel proud to own a school bag.
The bags are to be tailored by the Ntunga Women out of recycled Old jeans we are collecting from all well wishers. We call upon all of you to donate an Old pair of denim (jeans) to support the production of these bags. Reach out to the numbers on posters for the collection of Jeans. #BagYange #AnOldJeanForASchoolBag #UnearthingPotential #NtungaWomen

UNSEEN ME

UNSEEN ME EXHIBITION

Background

Started in 2017, the unseen me exhibition has grown into not just a network but a safe space where street connected children and vulnerable children from under privileged communities around Kampala and beyond come together to showcase their talents to the general public and different child rights practitioners through art, music, and fashion as a way of bridging a gap between street connected children and the general public but also voice out the challenges they face.



Impact

Organized by Streetlights Uganda (A Not for profit organization that uses Art to empower street connected children) annually, the Exhibition has in the 3 years (2017, 2018, 2019) its been held fostered growth in talents and confidence of over 150 children and has helped build a stronger network among key stakeholders that promote children’s rights who have participated annually in the exhibition attracting an audience of over 700 guests. Among these include stakeholders like Save Street Children Uganda, Raising Up Hope for Uganda, Faces Up Uganda, Holy Street Outreach, Ghetto Film Project and many more guests from different walks of life.

Each year’s edition was organized under a specific theme with a wide range of activities lined up towards that given theme. Among the activities done previously included beatboxing, fashion showcase, poetry, live painting, panel sessions, workshops, exhibition among others.

Ever since the outbreak of the Pandemic in 2019, Streetlights Uganda has not organised yet another annual Unseen Me Exhibition but in the light of easing of the economy and events, we will announce dates and changes to this annual event fostered towards giving streetchildren a platform to showcase their talents. Stay tuned.
