Glass Girls Uganda Initiative

Up-cycle, Up-skill, Up-lift.

Our mission at Glass Girls Uganda is to up-cycle waste glass, up-skill young girls, and uplift local communities. Through our innovative approach to transforming glass waste into beautiful and functional products, we are committed to creating a greener future. We empower young girls by providing them with valuable skills and training in glass up-cycling, enabling them to build brighter futures for themselves and their communities. With a focus on sustainability, social impact, and empowerment, Glass Girls Uganda is dedicated to making a positive difference in Uganda and beyond.

About Us

Our Vision

In all that we do, we envision a world where waste is transformed into wonder, where young girls are given the tools to shape their futures, and where communities are uplifted through economic and social development. With our passion for up-cycling, our commitment to up-skilling, and our dedication to uplift, we are driving towards a brighter, more sustainable future for all.

We envision a society where young girls are empowered with the skills and knowledge needed to thrive. By providing comprehensive training and mentorship in glass upcycling, we seek to equip them with practical skills that can lead to sustainable income-generating opportunities. Through this empowerment, we believe in uplifting not only the lives of these young girls but also the communities they belong to.

Our vision at Glass Girls Uganda is to be a leading force in transforming the way waste glass is perceived and utilized. We envision a future where every discarded glass bottle is seen as an opportunity for creativity, innovation, and positive change. Through our upcycling initiatives, we aim to showcase the beauty and functionality that can arise from repurposing glass, inspiring others to embrace sustainable practices.

We strive to foster a culture of environmental consciousness and social responsibility, inspiring individuals and businesses to embrace sustainable practices. By collaborating with suppliers, customers, and partners who share our vision, we aim to create a collective force for positive change.
