Ndere Center
Since 1984, we’ve been putting smiles on people’s faces for almost 40 years.
Ndere troupe was founded by Rwangezi Stephen in 1984 as a culural organisation for universal unity through music, dance and drama. The troupe is among over 1600 Uganda development theatre association groups entertaining and educating people through music , dance and drama.
The word ‘endere’ means ‘flute’, the Ndere Troupe therefore means Flute Troupe.
The flute was chosen as a symbol of beauty as it produced such beautiful and irresistable music which can be manipulated to express a range of emotions; from sorrow to joy and from love to loneliness.
It also symbolises universal unity, all peoples of the world have a flute in their cultures. The flute is like the blood that flows in our bodies no matter our external difference. The Ndere Troupe prides itself on emphasizing commonalities and celebrating the rich differences.
The Ndere Troupe is a cultural development that was founded in 1984 by Rwangyezi Stephen.
