Poetry That Celebrates Women of Uganda

The Babishai Niwe Poetry Foundation has embarked on a project celebrating women of Uganda. The idea commenced last year in 2023, as a poetry collection idea. With resources pulled together and with a new generation of ideas, it is going to be a unique and worthwhile celebration.

Amongst those whom we shall be raising our glasses towards through poetry, is Jacqueline Asiimwe, who launched her book, early July 2024. The book, titled, ‘Facing Mountains,’ is a symbolic non-fictional account of her own feats of conquering six mountains. Each physical feat raised her grit towards much more.

Lillian Nabaggala, another iconic Ugandan woman whose journey through dance has broken many ceilings and raised a platform for various art forms through dance and film.

Esther Kalenzi, who, through 40 days and 40 smiles, supports hundreds of vulnerable children through education and health initiatives.

This is an inspiring year where Babishai reaches the hearts of people, across Uganda and Africa.

Join us on thsisremarkable journey.
