Dear supporter, sponsor, and people interested in the Rockies progress,
2018 has been an astonishing year for Rockies. In addition to winning a national Prize awarded by the Ministry of Tourism as the Finest Traditional Dance Troupe in Uganda 2018/19, we have been part of numerous events and parties such as the Annual Make Them Smile (our Rockies signature fundraiser project) or Banyabo Concert (literally, women concert, where we performed together with one of the leading Ugandan artists Rema). In addition to these feats, Rockies has continued to identifty that the creative arts industries in Uganda is on the growth, opening a space which offers potential for growth, which will directly lift our beneficiaries. Keeping this in mind, we are honoured and proud to continue in collaboration with Segal Family Foundation through grant support and the African Visionary Fellowship, National Water and Sewerage Cooperation, The Microfinance Support Centre, and the Church Parishes of Mutundwe, Nsambya and Ntinda which gives us the opportunity to improve as an organisation, thus working better in the market and for our beneficiaries.
Perhaps one of the most important news this year is that we have completely paid the Nakawuka plot where the Rockies Academy will be built. Thanks to this, the foundation stones will soon be set in order to begin the building of our very own Academy. Despite that the building is not ready, our Leadership and Mentorship program is fully operational already, as well as the fashion and design courses.
Lastly, in our annual report, you may also find an analysis of our main challenges, our 5 year strategic plan, and our newly written institutional policies.
Kindly find attached our full report.
May you have as blessed of a 2019 as we experienced our 2018!
