After 10 years of operating and creating more than 200 direct-impact full time jobs for women, and sending more than 500 girls to university at our 1/2 acre facility in Kampala, a new dream is taking root - relocating the operations outside the city and expanding our capabilities into agribusiness, hospitality and modular training to create more educational and economic opportunities for women and youth in Uganda.
Arise Kollections is entering a transformative chapter—one that will redefine the future of impact and community empowerment in Uganda.
As we prepare to relocate and construct a new, purpose-built facility, we are launching a strategic fundraiser to mobilize the resources needed to bring this vision to life. The new 30-acre expanse will serve as a multi-functional hub, a cornerstone for the future Skilled Trades & Leadership Centre, a visionary ecosystem that unites fashion, agribusiness, hospitality, and leadership development under one roof.
This relocation is not just about bricks and mortar—it’s about building capacity, dignity, and opportunity for thousands of women and youth. Today, Uganda continues to grapple with significant barriers to quality, accessible education and employment, yet 78% of our population is under the age of 25.
The work is underway.
Many of you have been such faithful customers and friends to Sseko, followed by Arise over the years, and together we have created so much beauty- Now we invite you, our partners, donors, and champions of inclusive growth to join us in this bold endeavor. Your support will lay the foundation for a replicable model of empowerment and ethical enterprise.
