What is Kyisakati?

Ekisaakate is a traditional mentorship practice from the kingdoms of Western Uganda, where young people were guided by trusted elders and aunties in the practical skills and social values needed for adult life — long before formal classrooms existed.

Kyisakati reimagines this heritage for today's children and teens. Through hands-on mentorship at Grace Farm, we help young people build the confidence, discipline, and life skills that heritage once passed down around the fireside — public speaking, hygiene, cooking, etiquette, and emotional wellbeing.
