Ndere Cultural centre

Home of cultures in the heart of Kampala

Ndere Cultural Centre. The name Ndere comes from a local dialect ‘endere’, which literally means a flute. The centre uses a flute as its symbol of choice and inspiration, because just like the red blood that flows in all bodies of the living despite of the existence of the human external variances, the flute is the only musical instrument used by all world cultures. Therefore because of this flute, the centre can easily create a world filled with peace, and harmony through the soothing, beautiful and dynamic music to take care of different emotions and moods.

The centre’s vision is “to rekindle, rehabilitate, galvanize, promote and sustain the positive sense of pride, confidence, self-reliance and efficacy of the Ugandan (African) person as a respectable, rightful, equal, admirable, responsible, relevant and contributing member of the global human family”. Ndere cultural Centre is a proud home of Cultures, Ndere Troupe and headquarter for Uganda Development Theater Association (UDTA). The cultural centre currently sits on 9 acres of well-preserved green, beautifully flowered path ways and shaded by magnificent mature shrubs and other African tree species. The unique architecture is a continuous combination of artistic creativity with infrequency that takes African forms, materials, style and construction to unprecedented heights. This generates reasonable ample space and tranquility to enable one enjoy a myriad of cultural activities at Ndere centre while on a short tour or cultural safari in Kampala.
