The Busoga Kingdom’s “Ekigangu kya Busoga” is a forum where children can have a voice but also a forum for the restoration and revival of the Kisoga culture among children. This event brings together community leaders, educators, and young learners from across the region. The intention of “Ekigangu kya Busoga” is to meaningfully engage with both the women and children in activities that can help break the poverty cycle in the Busoga region – and this can be done by creating awareness on financial literacy.
The team leader, owek. Dr. Joyce Abaliwano Mulebeke, who attributed their achievements as Ekigangu to team work and consistency, appealed to parents, guardians and development partners to trust the organization by registering their children for the forthcoming retreat and thanked their partners for supporting this initiative.
“We are a credible organization that cherishes proper nurturing of children to ensure that Busoga’s next generation espouses the true Kisoga values and norms”, she said.
Started by the Kyabazinga of Busoga three years ago under the stewardship of Rt. Hon. Kadaga, the activity has benefited over thousands of participants, community leaders among other stakeholders.
