About Us
Who We Are
we rewrite the story of mental health
one soul, one act of love, one moment of healing at a time.
We are a subsidiary of Soul Fitness Ltd, a fitness outfit using dance to improve the total wellness of its client`s mind, body, soul.
After just a few sessions, even before registering change in their bodies, there was notable change in how they perceived life. They were definitely happier, more confident, less prone to anger, their families and colleagues also recognized and liked the change in them.
We soon came to the realization that the dance classes were bringing healing. Also that many people actually go about their days depressed, or suffering from anxiety and other mental health conditions thinking it is just life and they have to toughen up to cope.
How it all began
One day when visiting a relative in the Alcohol and Drugs Unit of National Referral Mental Hospital, our founder got the idea to do one dance session with the patients there thinking that unlike the “other” patients, they were well enough to follow the routines and since they “supposedly” pick up the vice in places that play similar music, they would appreciate it better.
Instead, the hospital administration in their response to our request, insisted that we dance with the “other” patients which we agreed to reservedly. That first class however changed our lives forever and we gladly went back every month for three (3) years until the COVID 19 pandemic.
A year into the sessions, with a deeper understanding and appreciation of mental health and its challenges, we knew we had to do more hence the birth of Soul Foundation Ltd.
Our unique perspective is not of a sufferer, a practitioner or non-medical staff of the hospital, but ordinary people who have taken the time to see with an open mind what goes on with these patients, how they perceive us and of course the misconceptions people like us (who believe we are fine) have about them.
This is why we felt the strong need to start raising awareness of mental health and the Butabika Hospital itself.
our Mission
To demystify and normalize mental health, creating a positive and empowering narrative that encourages early support, compassion, and holistic care.
our Vision
A Uganda where every person has access to the right mental health support by choice, without stigma, and with dignity.
Our Guiding Pillars
- We Are One – When one person struggles, the ripple touches us all. Wellness is a collective responsibility.
- We Are Love – Love transforms. It softens the hardest moments and reminds us that no one is beyond healing.
- We Are Spirit – Every human is more than body and mind we are spirit. When we fall out of alignment with that truth, “dis-ease” arises. By reconnecting to spirit to Source, to consciousness, to the deeper part of ourselves we open pathways to deeper healing and wholeness.
