GivingTuesday Uganda
About GivingTuesday Uganda
GivingTuesday Uganda is a generosity movement that celebrates giving in all its forms — time, skill, kindness, creativity, and financial support — while infusing every act of generosity with purpose and shared humanity.
As part of the global GivingTuesday movement launched in 2012, Uganda joins more than 90 countries celebrating generosity as a universal value.
“Bulungi Bwansi reflects Uganda’s tradition of coming together for the good of the community, a spirit that aligns seamlessly with the generosity of GivingTuesday.”
Movement Vision
GivingTuesday Uganda envisions a country where generosity becomes a cultural rhythm woven into daily life — where we recognise the stories that matter in our communities, relate to them with empathy rooted in our shared humanity, and respond with bold, joyful, and purposeful acts of giving. Our vision is to nurture a Uganda where people do not wait for crises to care, but naturally extend compassion, creativity, and solidarity to one another.
Guided by We Dwona’s storytelling and artistic expression and CivLegacy’s commitment to nurturing lasting community impact, the movement imagines a future where giving is not a momentary gesture but a lifestyle that shapes how we build dignity, justice, and opportunity for all.
Principles: The Ugandan Generosity Model
1. See the Story
We reveal the issues, inequalities, and everyday acts of courage that define our communities — making them visible and impossible to ignore.
2. Feel the Connection
Through dance, storytelling, activism, and cultural expression, we create belonging, empathy, and a shared national identity.
3. Act With Purpose
We inspire Ugandans to give boldly and intentionally — every action becoming a step toward justice and community transformation.
