Carson Buka Art
Carson and Buka shoe prints are actual art works by the local artist Carson Buka who is the inspirational man behind Creative Canvas Uganda. It is a newly built arts and community centre in Ndegeya village bringing a model of self-sustainable living in rural Uganda and giving children a chance to develop their skills, knowledge and creativity outside of the structured school environment. Overcoming a troubled childhood himself, Carson has been using sales of his artwork to support over 30 children from his village who are in similarly difficult circumstances.
Have a look at the Creative Canvas Uganda website and follow their wonderful work at www.creativecanvasuganda.org

100% of profits from each pair of shoes will go towards projects we support - UGM Youth Finance Scheme (60%) and Creative Canvas Uganda (40%).
