Busano Community Initiative Uganda Welcomes You

Growing up on the south side of Buzaaya county, one of the local communities in the eastern region, life in this part of the country side wasn't better enough to face. Grappled with various difficulties and uncertainties of poor education, lack of access to quality health services among others. We wouldn't imagine that at one time, we would be life changers, reviving dreams and rekindling embers of hope. Born in the community, my family struggled right from a roof over the head to food on the table. Life was never easy and we faced it. We prayed, stood amidst every challenge and finally, our school hosted missionaries for four months. During this time, they were preaching and teaching us. I interacted and our friendship grew stronger and they were convinced by my performance and took up the payment for my tuition. This came as a beacon of hope. I did my best throughout my stay in primary and my sponsorship was extended up to secondary where I excelled too. All this time, my mind went back to those who couldn't land on such a chance. Those who have never ever seen even the inside of a classroom. How would they be helped just the way my dreams can to live in me? The solution was myself. I was the opportunity to those who had never had one. Busano Community Initiative Uganda(BCIU) was conceived out of this faith, that many just like me, could get the same opportunity so that they can as well attain education, health and social justice to ensure a better holistic standard of life.
