Women and Girl's Community Event and Gifting (Uganda)

Black CHEFS Collective connected with Street Fam Foundation Uganda to provide the women and girls of a local community in Kampala, Uganda with lifestyle essentials and empowering gifts. It was a day of celebration consisting of a dance competition for the children, a dance showcase performance, and the distribution of the gifts and essentials. All attending locals enjoyed snacks, fruits and drinks.

Lifestyle essentials that were provided included sanitary and general hygiene products, clothes, educational books for children, baby items and dental products. Empowering gifts for the girls included Black barbie dolls with afro-kinky hair and a children's publication with a prominent Black lead.

The process

Black CHEFS Collective worked closely with local community leader Hudson to design a celebration fit to inspire all who attended. We also worked collaboratively with the community to create a list of essential items and gifts that the women and girls would benefit from.
