Welcome. The Bright Doves of St. Francis is a faith based Ugandan Youth organization established in 2006 and based in Kamwokya – Kampala. We adhere to and are inspired by the spirituality of St. Francis of Assisi by virtue of which we belong to and are networked with the Young Franciscans (Youfra) of Uganda. We focus on spiritual, social and economic empowerment and development of the youth in the community. Bright Doves is a registered Community Based Organization (CBO) under Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) and works through the Youfra network to reinforce cultural values which emphasize freedom, democracy and non violence by propagating peace and helping the young discover and utilize their potential.
