Jazz for Justice
The Jazz for Justice Project is an initiative founded in 2006 by UT professor, Dr. Rosalind Hackett, to raise funds, awareness, and support for the power of music and the arts in the post-conflict reconstruction of northern Uganda. Since then, the organization has grown into an ensemble of faculty, students, musicians, and religious and community activists, both here and in Uganda, that are united by two commitments: 1. To help end the suffering in war-affected northern Uganda, and 2. To explore music and the arts as a tool of peace building and post-conflict reconstruction.

Educate!
Educate! empowers students across Uganda to become socially responsible leaders who will drive their society’s social, political and economic development. We teach a two-year curriculum on how to lead social change, provide long term mentoring and create an alumni network geared at equipping students with the skills and confidence necessary to start and scale social enterprises, financially sustainable initiatives that address community problems.
