About us
The foundation was born from the life and legacy of Nankya Galiwango Edith, a respected head teacher in Luwero District whose life was rooted in service and a deep belief in education.
After her passing in 2021, her family chose not to mourn in silence—but to act.
From 2022, they began annual charity drives supporting vulnerable school children with essential supplies. What started as remembrance grew into impact—restoring dignity, improving school attendance, and bringing hope to families.
By 2025, this vision evolved into a structured, sustainable effort:
Nankya Galiwango Foundation (NGF)—a movement committed to lasting change across communities.
