Through creative arts we empower GIRLS of color to confidently embrace who they are, while equipping them with practical skills needed to thrive in an ever-changing world.
How to help
Sew What™With EVarize
Our 2 week Summer program in the U.S. brings young girls between the ages of 8-14 together in a creative space where they learn the art of sewing and design.
Sponsor A Child
You have the power to impact the lives of girls in Uganda through your giving. Your support helps us to empower students by opening doors of opportunity to education and the creative arts.
BayGanda Education Initiative
Nearly half of young women in Uganda (ages 15-24) face barriers to literacy, and four out of five girls do not have the opportunity to attend high school. We are empowering a new generation of leaders who are breaking barriers as the first in their families to not only complete their education but to pursue their dreams at the university level.
What We do
Educate Develop Empower
Since 2005, BayGanda has been a leader in Bay Area sewing camps, providing accessible summer programs and teaching the art of sewing. Starting in 2007, we expanded our mission to Bugolobi, Uganda, to empower young girls through creative and practical skills.
Today, after 20 years BayGanda continues to support girls in both the U.S. and Uganda, helping build a generation of empowered, enriched, and economically secure young women.
