Vision ~ A gender equal community where girls use their education as a vehicle for self discovery, empowerment and financial independence.
Mission ~ Through the education of the girl child we look to build a coalition of free thinkers and community builders. Bayganda empowers changemakers by giving girls access to a holistic education, equipping them with the tools to heal from emotional and sexual abuse, while promoting passion discovery.
Sew What™ Online with EVarize is a digital adaptation of the award-winning Sew What™ Sewing Camp, now available as an online video series + companion supplies.
You have the power to impact the lives of girls in Uganda through your giving. Your support helps us to empower students by opening doors of opportunity to education and the creative arts.
Almost half of all female youth in Uganda (15-24 years old) are illiterate, and 4 out of 5 girls in Uganda don’t attend high school. We are raising up powerful leaders who are the first in their families to not only receive an education and graduate, but also to pursue their education at the university level.
With roots in the Bay Area and a deep desire to transform lives in Uganda, we began sending a team to the village of Bugolobi in 2007 to teach the art of sewing to girls. In the United States, BayGanda has been an innovative leader in Bay Area sewing camps since 2005, while also filling a need for accessible summer programs in the urban community.
Today, BayGanda continues to support girls with their academic and creative aspirations, helping to raise up a generation of empowered, enriched, and economically secure young women.
