“The heart of human excellence often begins to beat when you discover a pursuit that absorbs you, frees you, challenges you, or gives you a sense of meaning, joy, or passion.”
Men,
"If you truly want change or want to change the situation, you first have to change you. And to change you effectively, you first have to change your perceptions." ~ Stephen R. Covey

We’re thrilled to announce the 2026 cohort of the Huduma Fellowship! 🎉🇺🇬
Meet our 22 incredible fellows, each with a unique background across different career paths in Uganda’s public sector.
Tomorrow, these distinguished Ugandans will hold their first leadership seminar.
They represent our unwavering commitment to building leaders of consequence, individuals who will lead with ethics, values, and a deep sense of service to build a better Uganda.
Today, they join a growing network of transformative leaders we’ve been weaving together for over a decade.
📜 “Huduma” is Kiswahili for public service—and these fellows truly embody it.
Welcome to the network, Huduma Fellows of 2026! #HudumaFellowship #PublicService #Leadership #Uganda

You have the chance to start anew every day when the Almighty returns your soul to you after sleep. It’s up to you to decide today how you want to live your life; in His pleasure or displeasure. You have a duty to fulfil. Make it a good one.
Today, the Global Shapers Kampala Hub successfully launched the Shapers for Plastic Action activity under the #GenerationCircular initiative, bringing together young people committed to building cleaner and more sustainable communities.

“Dinah, you can tell a story and it stays with someone forever…”
I’m excited to begin my journey as a #Griots#Fellow at @LeoAfricaInst refining my storytelling and contributing to #Leo#Africa#Talks.
We tell stories that shape Africa.
We've been building something. 🌍
The Africa Champions Network now has a full brand identity; a symbol rooted in two ideas: the ambition to move forward, and the responsibility to do so with integrity.
At its heart: a shield anchoring upward-flowing forms. Protected progress. Ambition guided by governance.
The identity also introduces a badge system and four distinct pathways, each with its own color and purpose:
🩵 Alumni Circle — Legacy builders
🟡 Alliance Circle — Strategic partners
🟥 Faculty Members — Intellectual architects
🛡️ Guardians of Vision — Stewards of the mission
This is a mark our fellows, partners, and leaders can wear, recognise, and call their own.

Words can't express how much I'm thankful to have met you back.
You've believed in me when no one else did, held my hand and watched me grow.
You treated me like your own despite not having known me. I still remember the first time I met you in 2019, that day I walked from Makerere to Kololo. It turned out to be the most impactful in my life.
No person believed and gave me a chance like you did. You took me one like your own and groomed me into the person I am today. I'm forever indebted
May the good Lord grant your heart's desires.
I am writing this with a full heart. Having studied Law at @MakerereLaw and the Bar course at @LDC_Uganda, I wanted more beyond the confines of legal practice, I wanted to build the world I wished for. I was fortunate to be admitted into @NotreDame on scholarship.
Fast forward, over the weekend, I graduated with a Master of Science in Engineering, Science & Technology Entrepreneurship from the @NotreDame with a GPA of 3.84 out of 4.0. In addition, I completed two professional certifications at the @CFI_education: Financial Modeling & Valuation Analysis (FMVA), where I scored 100% in 3 exams and averaged 90% overall, and the Financial Planning & Wealth Management Professional (FPWMP)certification, where I scored 100% in 2 exams and averaged 94% overall.
In a special way I'd like to thank @Maria_Nakalanda, @Uwihanganye_A, and my parents for the support and guidance they gave me throughout the course of my studies. You believed in me on the days I found it hard to believe in myself, and that made all the difference.
To everyone who has been part of this journey in any way especially the @LeoAfricaInst network, thank you. I do not take any of it for granted.
And yeah! Will be graduating from @LDC_Uganda next month with a Postgraduate Diploma in Legal studies too
