Our Culture Is Our Future.
Let's Preserve It Together.
We don't just preserve culture; we empower its keepers. A grassroots movement building a new Ugandan legacy through storytelling, education, and art.
From Struggle to School. From Silence to Stage. From Poverty to Pride.
"We don't give handouts; we create sustainable pathways. We don't exploit stories for funding; we honor them. We don't work FOR communities; we work WITH them. This is impact rooted in dignity."
- Ssebunya Edgar, Founder
Our Four Pillars of Impact
Our work is focused on four interconnected areas to create holistic and sustainable change.
Family Support & Education
FROM STRUGGLE TO SCHOOL.
We identify families crushed by poverty and provide school fees, scholastic materials, emergency food assistance, and connection to sustainable opportunities. Education isn't a privilege. It's a right. We make it accessible.

AMPLIFYING THE UNHEARD.
Uganda is rich with talent buried by poverty and lack of platforms. We spotlight underground musicians, painters, dancers, poets, traditional craftspeople, and young creatives with world-class talent but zero visibility. We don't just promote art. We preserve culture. We create careers.

TURNING STORIES INTO POWER.
Every documentary we create serves to give a voice to the voiceless and attract resources to solve real problems. We document family struggles, community solutions, and cultural traditions before they're lost. Authentic. Unfiltered. Impactful.

BUILDING THE NEXT GENERATION.
We don't just help youth—we equip them. Our programs include digital literacy training, mentorship from successful Ugandans, life skills, and pathways to employment and entrepreneurship. Today's struggling youth are tomorrow's community leaders.

Meet Ssebunya Edgar
To understand Kulture Foundation, you must first understand the journey of its founder. For years, Ssebunya Edgar built brands—the pioneering 256 Hiphop Awards, the online Kulture Radio, and a community of over 200,000 followers. But success felt hollow.
"My ancestors had to bring me back to the foundation. My brands went silent because my spirit was being called to build a legacy, not just a business. Kulture Foundation is that calling."
This isn't an NGO created from a boardroom. It was forged in the fire of personal sacrifice and spiritual guidance. With a unique blend of street-level hustle, strategic vision, and a deep-seated love for his culture, Ssebunya Edgar is not just running an NGO; he is answering a sacred call.
