Objectives

Roots Afrika aims to use theatre as a vehicle to assist a wide range of bodies from both private and public sectors to extract the maximum benefit from educational or informational campaigns. For example we work with governmental and non-governmental organizations that conduct public sensitization programs on important social issues such as
- The Role of Women in Development.
- Community Responsibility e.g. in combating child abuse, child labour, domestic violence.
- Opportunities for people with disabilities and the marginalised.
Through Kid's Theatre, we promote the talents of children giving them training in self expression through dance, music and sound, folklore and literature, drama and role-plays that shape the children's personal expression.
Youth constitute over half of the population of Africa, and their social and economic realities play a leading role in the developmental activities in Africa and worldwide. ROOTS AFRIKA designs and animates workshops to create self-awareness, self-esteem, responsibility and participation. We are hopeful that working with youth organizations and agencies dedicated to the world of the youth we will be able to reach out to as many youth as possible.
Roots Afrika's aim is to use all forms of artistic media to bring together the treasures hidden in African traditional art forms, thereby continuing their role in promoting harmony between communities.
We at ROOTS AFRIKA, based in Uganda, the country which nearly a century ago was christened the Pearl of Africa, are dedicated to projecting the beauty of our homeland, its environment, its wildlife and its people, through performances of our own creation. We would be happy to collaborate with appropriate organizations in this work.
We look forward to provoking valuable cultural exchange programmes locally and internationally.

Super Objective
ROOTS AFRIKA is looking forward to being established as an educational centre for inspirational music, instinct, sounds and silence ("IMISS") a concept originated by SSETTABA DANIEL for studying performing arts, culture, sociology, media and communication.
