Vision
A safe, peaceful, inclusive and empowered society where every person can live with dignity, develop their potential and have their voice heard.
Home / About
A community foundation with a global standard of dignity.
Ziggy Ninjaz Foundation is a Uganda-registered nonprofit operating countrywide, working so that gender, age, disability or circumstance never decides who gets a future.
Who we are
Grassroots experience, organised for the long term.
Community work began in 2017. The organisation was registered as a community-based organisation in Wakiso District in 2023, and progressed to NGO registration in 2026.
We bring together protection, peacebuilding, education, guidance, skills, digital inclusion, livelihoods and creative arts. The aim is practical: people who are overlooked get seen, supported and connected to opportunity.
Mission
To empower, protect and support vulnerable children, young people, women, girls, elderly people, widows, persons with disabilities and families.
