Our 31 Bits Uganda headquarters is far beyond a workplace. Our ladies aren’t simply making jewelry, they’re entering a community. They can leave fear and uncertainties outside the gate, and enter a place of security, restoration, and hope. Our headquarters is a space to think creatively, dream big, find joy, build confidence, and be empowered. That’s why we call it The Haven.
