We’re thrilled to host Dutch Fashion designer Jan Boelo in Karamoja (northeast Uganda) for a journey of inspiration aimed at learning more about Karimojong culture and fashion.

Stay tuned and follow his journey to #DiscoverKaramoja, Uganda’s Best Kept Secret.

The first edition of the ‘Spirit of Karamoja‘ event was a success with: A social bike ride, crafts market, tour info desk, the Karamoja Quiz and dances. Next on the agenda is: Tour of Karamoja – Uganda Bike Adventure for Education 25 Oct – 4 Nov 2024.
