About Us:

Solidarity Eden Foundation (SEF) is a registered, refugee youth-led organization based in Kampala, Uganda, founded in 2015 to support urban refugees, particularly women and youths, in rebuilding their lives with dignity, resilience, and purpose. Through trauma-informed, community-driven programming, SEF offers English Language Development, Vocational Training, Business Literacy & Entrepreneurship, Community Development, Creative Arts and Cultural Exchange initiatives, all rooted in healing, empowerment, and inclusion.

​

At the heart of our work is the SEF Refugee Resource Center, a vibrant, welcoming space that has become a second home for over 300 refugees, primarily newly arrived individuals from DR Congo, South Sudan, Burundi, and Rwanda. More than just a resource center, it is one of the few safe and inclusive spaces in Kampala where refugees feel genuinely seen, supported, and connected.

​

Our mission is to address pressing challenges such as forced displacement, ethnic conflict, unemployment, and social disconnection, while equipping refugees with the tools they need to integrate into local communities, build sustainable livelihoods, and rediscover a strong sense of identity, belonging, and hope.
