Dawacharityfoundation donors provided food and other necessities to families in Uganda's underserved communities, ensuring they could enjoy the holiday season with full hearts and full plates. This initiative brought together donors from the diaspora who contributed generously to ensure that families had access to nutritious meals and essential supplies.

Access to food is a fundamental human right. Yet thousands of families across Uganda face severe food shortages daily. Through the generosity of our supporters, we were able to deliver meals and essential household items to over 500 families across three communities.

The initiative included delivery of dry food rations, fresh produce, cooking oil, and hygiene kits. Local volunteers coordinated distribution points and ensured that every family received their share with dignity and respect.

Culture is powerful. It connects us to our roots and reminds us of our shared humanity. This extraordinary fundraising initiative combined the joy of traditional African dance with the urgent need to address childhood malnutrition in Uganda, Nigeria, and Rwanda.

Over three evenings of stunning cultural performances in Edmonton and Calgary, community members, allies, and supporters came together to celebrate Black heritage while raising critical funds. Local dance troupes performed traditional dances from Uganda, Nigeria, Rwanda, Ghana, and other nations.

The funds raised go directly to school feeding programs that provide daily nutritious meals to children who would otherwise go without. When a child is fed, they can learn. When they learn, they can dream. And when they dream, communities transform.

The Black Culture Traditional Entertainment Festival is more than a fundraiser — it's a declaration that community matters, that culture heals, and that joy is itself a form of resistance.

Held annually, this multi-day festival features traditional music, dance, storytelling, cuisine, art exhibitions, and community workshops. It draws hundreds of attendees and raises critical funds for Dawacharityfoundation's work in Uganda.

This year's festival aims to raise $50,000 to fund community infrastructure projects including construction of a community hall in rural Uganda and the establishment of a vocational training center for young women in Nigeria. Every ticket purchased contributes directly to these life-changing projects.
