For Namakula, art is more than just colors on paper—it’s her escape, her joy, and her dreamscape. Namakula is a soft-spoken girl with a radiant smile and an imagination that blossoms every time she holds a pencil. When she draws, her mind takes her to a place where everything is perfect—where the flowers are always in bloom, the trees reach for the sky, and people live in harmony under the rooftops of beautifully colored houses.
Her favorite things to sketch are the small wonders of the world: delicate petals, sturdy trees, and the faces of those she loves. It’s through her art that Judith expresses the kind of life she envisions—a life full of beauty and peace.
But her talents don’t stop at the tip of her pencil. When Namakula isn’t lost in her artwork, she’s laughing and playing with her friends. She loves the rhythm of skipping rope, the strategy of “ludo,” and the rush of dodgeball. Her eyes light up when she listens to stories, each one sparking a new idea for her next masterpiece.
Through Faces Up Uganda’s art program, Namakula has found a way to share her inner world with the rest of us—a world full of wonder, happiness, and color. By supporting her journey, you’re not just investing in her future, but in a future where dreams can take shape through the power of creativity.
