Education shapes the future of every community.

With over 500 pupils more than double its capacity St. Francis Primary School, Bulindo needed action.

Through @najjerarotary , a two-classroom block now stands as a safer space for learning.

@UG_confesses There is a group of couples (5 in number) called MWALONI. They are the ULTIMATE example of what marriage is in God’s perspective. Been at it for years. Look for them for a landmark story.

@BlueASafari A very great time we had on our trip with a very professional and knowledgeable team from Blue Adventure Safari. I would use your services on any other trip if it comes up.

Are we numb to pain?

In a world where suffering is sometimes met with indifference or entertainment, God calls us to a different response - a heart of compassion that moves us to action.

“Religion that God our Father accepts as pure and faultless is this: to look after orphans and widows in their distress.” - James 1:27

Let’s be the hands and feet of Jesus in our communities. Who will you serve today?

Marketing

A few days ago, I was having a chat with a friend( smart person) of mine about marketing and the person says, I have a shop with very nice items but I have never tried to market that shop to any of my workmates where I work.

I asked the friend why not? Friend says marketing amongst many Ugandans by an Ugandan sounds like boosting, arrogance, posing etc so I fear to do so. This friend is very educated, has masters from one of the best universities in Europe.

It’s not the first time I have heard people talk about marketing in similar way and sometimes, it’s the same mindset people apply when I tell them let’s market Uganda. People don’t have enough information about the value of marketing.

And in Uganda freedom of expression by many Ugandans not everyone Ofcourse comes 100% without sense of responsibility. People talk fwaaa like my friend @skaheru likes to put it.

Recently during the heated discussions on uganda and myself, one guy said, why should you market your products when people are in trouble? It shows you have no empathy according to him.

Same person didn’t say anything about the fact that telecoms, banks, insurance companies don’t pull down their adverts on TVs , bill boards etc because to him, it’s okay for foreigners( we hardly own those) to advertise their businesses not a Ugandan.

To me, there is hardly a week where I don’t need to show empathy, it’s either a friend is gone, or sick or a relative is dead and if I didnt market because that has happened, I wouldn’t afford to even survive let alone the business.

Sometimes I have to tell friends, I will send mabuggo/contribution but I can’t afford to both drive a car, stay overnight at a hotel and contribute. So let me send what I would have spent instead, otherwise I would never work. I know very many people but I also have big responsibilities.

After you have produced a product or service, marketing becomes a bedrock of its survival. You will never sustain production of stuff using emotions, people must buy your product for you to continue producing them.

How will you pay salaries, suppliers, utilities, pay rent? Infrastructure development like most people like taking me on.

Some people think am so daft that I don’t understand that uganda needs to improve its infrastructure for tourism to thrive very well, its something I know very well but where will the money come from to do so.

My take is simple, we are broke as a country but we have something to work with so we can raise money to improve on the infrastructure but marketing is critical for that to happen.

Everyday you read, Japan has given us 480bn for Karuma bridge, china has given us ushs 100bn for friendship, we are borrowing these amounts of billions for all sorts of expenses, little is spoken about what we are doing to earn.

I have always told you, follow information on budgets, banking etc and understand our state of affairs.

Our budget 2024/2025 was close to ushs 72 Trillions, URA was to collect taxes between ushs 25 trillions to ushs 30 trillions which isn’t enough to even pay our debt repayments now.

The above means we have to borrow close to ushs 45 trillions to manage the budget for 2024/2025. That’s a very sad state but if we focused on positioning uganda through marketing our tourism and agriculture products to external markets so we can earn new monies or forex, we wouldn’t struggle as much.

We must change our mindset if we are to ever survive or thrive! We must focus on attaining practical knowledge that we can apply. And each of us must play a role for that to happen.

Lessons from Rahab:
Don't wait to have everything together or try to clean up your life first. Simply believe, have faith, and ask God to save you and use you.
