Our Mission
Who We Are
We are an empathetic organization based in Uganda, established in 2017,
with the mission of advocating for all conscious beings, bringing about
positive change to human and non-human animals, and creating awareness
of the intersections of human and animal rights. We believe that everyone
deserves to live a healthy and cruelty-free lifestyle, and we’re committed to
making a cruelty-free plant-based lifestyle accessible to everyone,
regardless of their background, culture, or socioeconomic status. We also
believe that the promotion of human and animal rights is essential to the
creation of a just and equitable society.
Kyotera Vegan Care Foundation is dedicated to promoting a plant-based
lifestyle through education, outreach, and community engagement. We
strive to create a world where all people have access to healthy and
sustainable food choices. We’re also deeply committed to advocating for
animal rights, recognizing that non-human animals are sentient beings with
the right to live free from harm and exploitation.
At our core, we’re a group of passionate individuals who share a vision of a
kinder, more compassionate world. We know that every choice we make has
an impact on the world around us, and we’re dedicated to making a positive
change. We believe that human rights are interlinked with animal rights and
environmental sustainability, and that by promoting a plant-based lifestyle,
we can contribute to a more just and equitable world for all beings.
We choose to be advocates for animals through Kyotera Vegan Care
Foundation. Based on our personal experiences, we feel humans have done
enough injustice to non-human animals. And, because they cannot speak,
we choose to speak for them and, hence, we chose to become vegans.
Animals are too kind to humans and we think they deserve the same
kindness. We feel that about all non-human animals including chickens and
other birds. We don’t want children and grandchildren to pay the price for
the extinction or exploitation of animals that we didn’t protect as our
ancestors did in their lives.
Together with Kyotera Vegan Care Foundation, I believe we can reach the
global goals of ensuring rights for animals and increasing the number of
vegans worldwide and thus ensuring that “Every life matters”.
Kyotera Youth Empowerment has truly made a difference in my life. Their dedication to vegan activism and animal rights advocacy is inspiring. I highly recommend their program!
