OUR MISSION
We provide the children of Katwe with the resources and skills to grow up into hard working, employable citizens. Through circus we teach our athletes the importance of teamwork, trust, patience and consistency. These skills advance them as young leaders and empower them with the confidence to reject gang activity and drugs.

OUR STORY
Acrobatics Circus Troupe (ACT) was founded in 2019 to empower the children in Katwe and to keep them away from the violence, drugs and gang activity that are prevalent in their community. What started as a few people getting together to learn how to juggle has grown into a 501c3 nonprofit supporting over 350 children.
Through circus performance, we teach our athletes the importance of teamwork, trust, patience, and consistency. We provide all of ACT’s members with scholastic materials, porridge and clothing.
As our athletes reach adulthood, we look for ways to economically support them through coaching opportunities and circus shows. We have developed numerous talented athletes who have performed across Uganda and internationally.
ACT’s programs are free to participants, with financial support coming from our generous donors and partner organizations.
