Barbara Kyagulanyi (born September 7, 1984) is a Ugandan philanthropist and author. She is the wife to Ugandan pop artist and politician Robert Kyagulanyi Ssentamu, alias Bobi Wine. She is the author of "Golden Memories of a Village Belle" published in 2012. In 2013, she founded Caring Hearts Uganda, an NGO with a focus on Girl child leadership empowerment, HIV/AIDS, Menstrual hygiene and girl child education where she teaches girls traditional values, malaria eradication, life-long education, personal development and entrepreneurial skills to promote sustainable development for the youths. As such, she, through her NGO, has donated infrastructure to school for the internally displaced children and marginalized children. Barbie entered active politics in 2018 to support and campaign for her husband Bobi Wine to become a member of parliament and later for presidency in 2020 with her manifesto about the welfare of women, children, and the youths. She fought for the release of Bobi Wine when he was jailed at Nalufenya during his presidential campaigns in 2020 and was praised by the media when she told the BBC that the struggle for change wasn't about her or her family but rather about the oppressed people of Uganda. She was later put under house arrest with her husband Bobi Wine. He also advocated for the end to military court martial to which civilians had been subjected. *The above was taken from Wikipedia, October 11, 2023*
