About Us

Our Story

Ubuntu Rhythm Fusion Foundation was established with a vision to harness the power of arts and cultural expression to mentor young talent and create meaningful connections across communities. The concept of "Ubuntu" – "I am because we are" – underscores our belief in the interconnectedness of all people and cultures.

Although officially incorporated as a non-profit in 2024, Ubuntu has been actively engaging communities for many years through music, dance, spoken word, and storytelling. Our foundation is recognized by the National Culture Forum (NCF), the umbrella body representing Uganda's culture and creative industry.

Our journey is guided by faith, passion for the arts, and commitment to empowering the next generation of cultural ambassadors. We believe in the transformative power of artistic expression to bridge divides, preserve heritage, and create opportunities for growth and understanding.
