Benindanga Club is a socio-cultural organisation created in 1999 by women from diverse backgrounds and ethnic groups of Ruyigi to promote reconciliation and good relationships between different groups of the population through cultural activities such as theatres, songs, dances and festivals.

The Club works in partnership with local and international organisations when performing spectacles for Internally Displaced Persons (IDPs) and refugee returnees to encourage forgiveness, solidarity and reconciliation. During holidays, the club ensures entertainment and training in traditional music and cooking techniques for secondary school pupils.

Modest contributions from membership have enabled the building of a conference room where the organisation hosts its different activities/events as well as other NGOs and CSOs in Ruyigi. They have already received a support from the President of Republic and PADCO (Planning and Development Collaborative).
