The village aims to create workshop spaces for emerging artists to develop their skills, network, and create. It also aims to forster diversity, equality, and inclusion for differently abled adults and children.

Our vision is to create a space that allows all to return to nature while they learn the ancient arts in such as barkcloth making, pottery making, weaving, bee keeping, organic farming and more.

We strive to empower and support these individuals to learn new skills and use their gifts and talents to transform their lives and their communities. We believe by teaching the ancient arts to the youth we are passing down priceless & timeless knowledge and wisdom.

Our organisation raises funds and donates 10% of our profits from classes/workshops and events to organise arts and crafts classes for children with Autism & Downs Syndrome at the Dorna Center for Autism & children living in the Naguru Slum. We are currently working on a programme to reintroduce pottery making to younger women and inspire girls around Uganda to master pottery making.
