FDNC Center for the Arts and Sustainable Development
FDNC is seeking your support to establish a multipurpose Center in Mbale that will serve as a music school for our Youth Orchestra Program, a showroom for FDNC’s locally designed products, a meeting place for NGO collaboration in the Eastern Region, and an office facility for FDNC’s new Mbale Town headquarters. This Center will bring about meaningful development for FDNC, local institutions in the area, and the many underserved individuals and communities in Eastern Uganda.
