Jinja has so much to offer and best of all is the people of Jinja whom make others feel happy, just by being around them. This is the best medicine to heal the heart and spirit of most people on this planet. The Mayor of Jinja asked Big Steve to come and help him show of his city to the rest of the world and this is our story.
We decided that the best way to create awareness of Jinja was to do something that everyone in Jinja could be involved in. The Center piece of this campaign is that everyone would feel welcome and free to take part, or be a part of history happening right on their own door step. The idea developed is open to the entire community, Painting The City Bright. This would make Jinja the ‘most colourful city in Africa’ and by taking part, would be something that residents of Jinja could feel proud to be part of.

Why are we doing this?
This campaign is very important to us, Jinja And UGANDA has been known for a lot of negatives over several years. We all know that every country and City has their negatives, but they also have their Positive. So we made a promise to help the Mayor of Jinja and the people of Uganda to reach out to the world and show that Jinja has a lot to offer and that the People on Jinja are the happiest people in the world. It's time to put Jinja back on the map, and on the right road to success.
We are all volunteers working on this project, the money we are asking for all goes to covering expenses to bring the team of 12 to the equator. And to help out with all the expenses these 3 BIG events will cost.
