Ntungo is a Ganda name for Sesame seeds which is a widely used ingredient in the making of some of Uganda’s tastiest local dishes. It is true that you cannot discuss Uganda without talking about its tasty and or healthy local food. After all, Uganda is the world’s food basket. Ntungo is used in the making of roasted ground nut paste, the most consumed dish in Buganda and in the rest of the regions in equal measure.

Growing up, Eva and Mabel (our directors) would have the paste in a dish called “Matooke n’ebinyeebwa” which is basically banana bread served with groundnut sauce where ntungo was a main ingredient. This was almost a daily meal because it was tasty and also affordable for a large family of seven (7). “We have grown to love the paste and prepare it in our homes often,” says Eva, her lips curving into a smile. “It is therefore from our love of this “Matooke n’ebinyeebwa” that we want to showcase our local cuisine with Ntungo as our focus. And you have to give it to us, Ntungo is a cute name, ” Mabel joins with a chuckle. Ntungo can also be consumed as a tasty snack and is widely loved by children and adults alike. It is available in the uptown and downtown markets all over Uganda.

GIVING BACK TO THE COMMUNITY

Choose to visit Sserinya Community on your trip to Uganda, donate to sponsor a child or volunteer your time in the community.

We love our community and are generous with our profits. When we have a safari, 5% of all our profits go to Sserinya community to improve the livelihoods of the people living within that community and others who are far away but are less privileged.

Covid 19 has robbed families of loved ones and employment and with your support these vulnerable children have a chance to go back to school and afford basic needs.

About Us 5
About Us 7

The girl child has been even more affected with growing cases of defilement, early pregnancies which may mean that many of them do not get the chance to be reintegrated into school. The girl child’s need for more basics like the sanitary towels makes her vulnerable even further because access is very limited in an economy where these needs compete for money with the next family meal which automatically keeps them out of school.

With your support, families and especially children have a chance to see a better day.

Be a part of this great cause by booking a tour with us, and/ or donate directly through our website.

“We rise by lifting others.” – Robert Ingersoll.

Thank you for your generosity!
