State House Comptroller to Officiate the Launch of Nabagereka’s Obuntu Bulamu Initiative

The Nabagereka Development Foundation, spearheaded by the Nabagereka of Buganda, Sylvia Nagginda, continues its mission of reviving cultural values and traditions through its latest initiative, “Obuntu Bulamu” (Humanity). Established in 2000 to foster the positive cultural values of the Buganda Kingdom, the foundation aims to reshape the youth’s engagement with their heritage and promote a sense of humanity among children and youth in Buganda and across Uganda.
In a strategic move, the Nabagereka has invited State House Comptroller Ms. Sarah Barekye to be the chief guest at the launch of this initiative. The event, slated for November 20, 2024, at the Sheraton Hotel in Kampala, has garnered much anticipation, with Ms. Barekye confirming her attendance.
This partnership highlights the ongoing collaboration between the Buganda Kingdom and the state as both parties continue to harness culture for peace and development.
Aligned with these efforts, Ms. Barekye’s leadership in the Industrial Hubs Program underscores the importance of equipping Uganda’s youth with practical skills for economic empowerment. Under the program, the creation of industrial hubs across the country has provided numerous opportunities for vocational training and skills development.
This is particularly significant in addressing youth unemployment and enabling young people to contribute meaningfully to Uganda’s economic growth.
Together, the Nabagereka Foundation’s focus on cultural revitalization and the State House’s Industrial Hubs Program create a powerful synergy. While the foundation instills values of humanity and respect for tradition, the industrial hubs offer the practical skills necessary for preparing Uganda’s youth for the modern job market.
This partnership promises to uplift a generation, blending cultural pride with economic opportunity and positioning the youth as custodians of both heritage and innovation.
The collaboration between these two influential entities marks a significant step toward a future where Ugandan youth are empowered not only by their rich cultural heritage but also through industrial skills and economic self-reliance.
