About this experience
A trip to Uganda wouldn’t be complete without having your very own custom-designed fashion pieces made just for you! It’s the perfect memento to remind you of your time in Uganda. Our incredible fashion designers are talented youth who have been trained through Yimba Uganda’s youth empowerment program. They are skilled in a wide range of international styles and can bring any design you envision to life! From African kitenges, linen to tailored suits - we've got you covered!
The vibrant, authentic African fabrics available in Uganda are truly one-of-a-kind—bright, bold, and bursting with color, just like Uganda’s rich culture! And the best part? 100% of our profits go directly into supporting Yimba Uganda’s economic empowerment initiatives, helping to create more opportunities for youth from disadvantaged backgrounds.

Itinerary and highlights
Come join us at the Yimba Fashions workshop, where you'll meet the talented Yimba Uganda students and enjoy a personalized consultation with our expert fashion designers! You’ll have the opportunity to custom design any outfit you desire and choose from a wide selection of fabrics (or bring your own—ask about our fabric market tours if you'd like a guided shopping experience). After we’ve selected the ideal design and taken your measurements, return after a few days for your fitting. Leave with a perfectly tailored outfit made just for you! (Average turn around time is 3 days, but we can do quicker turnaround via request).
