NEXIM International Development Organization (NIDO) - is an international social enterprise, encouraging local communities in Uganda to put our resources together to build and furnish public schools.

We began our non-profit building work with our partners at Cambridge Secondary School (Kampala, Uganda). We have also constructed a library, a computer lab and a boys’ dormitory for the school, and helped to provide sustainable energy technology.NIDO recently completed the construction of Mother Kevin Primary School (Kampala, Uganda). 

Suubi means 'hope' in the Luganda language. The Suubi Music and Dance Troupe is the brain child of the school's founder, Mrs. Kevin Kalule. It has grown into a passion and purpose for our young Ugandan performers.

The Suubi Fusion Troupe has blossomed into a full-fledged touring group which now has a full time dance and music teacher. Talented music students who are able to access scholarships from the school and had earned the opportunity to perform in Uganda and internationally.

Suubi has been travelling to Canada annually but due to the global pandemic touring has been cancelled indefinitely.  As a result, NIDO has sought to find innovative ways to continually support access to education and human rights. Suubi's first virtual concert PEARLS OF AFRICA: HOPE ARISING seeks to continue the culture exchange and fundraising which accompanied performing internationally. Currently, we are seeking investment to supplement a vocational nursing school scholarship fund.

Nexim International Development Organization (NINDO)

We aspire to be a high quality education entertainment troupe that shares our culture with Ugandan and international audiences through African song, dance, the spoken word and the African drum. This we aim to achieve through the following;

Our meticulously planned and thought-provoking residence programs foster shared learning opportunities for students from different cultures, ethnicities, nationalities social and economic backgrounds. These residence placements present avenues for students to cross pollinate each other's perspectives on the world and its people. They help students learn about each other while at the same time gaining valuable educational / entertainment value.

Collaborations and partnerships - we reach out to and build partnerships with different groups, both local and international, that foster international understanding through artistic expression. Through these partnerships, our touring group co-creates and performs different pieces of fusion music, poetry and theatrical performances and plays that educate international audiences about both worlds on stage.
