The Camp Kupugani Mission
"Kupugani" is a Zulu concept meaning "to raise oneself up." The fundamental point of Camp Kupugani is&emdash;in a residential camp setting&emdash;to expose girls of varied backgrounds and ethnicities to each other. Living, playing, and working together are the best teachers of instilling bonds of friendship and trust. They represent an important step towards breaking down societal barriers that prevent positive interaction. Camp Kupugani provides a safe atmosphere where children are individually empowered via enhancing their communication skills and engaging in community building. By way of carefully selected program activities, we bestow upon them the tools to maximize their potential, free of the sometimes-limiting restrictions of school and predisposed social patterns. At Camp Kupugani, girls will have fun while changing their world.
