One ordinary afternoon, volunteers from Mvulana Foundation Uganda arrived. They carried more than bags of clothes they brought something far more precious: hope. Led by Eric Yiga, the team moved gently among the children, offering warm smiles and words of encouragement.
many young boys grow up knowing hunger more intimately than a full meal. They scavenge for plastic bottles, sleep in sacks, or wander without a proper plate of food from one day to the next. For them, a warm meal is not everyday routine it is a rare moment of dignity and hope.
“We have engaged both girls and boys in community service, but we are giving special emphasis to the boy child because society has recently neglected him,” Mayemba said. “We believe that responsibility belongs to everyone. Cleaning homes and communities is not work meant only for girls. Boys should also take pride in keeping their homes and surroundings clean.”
Prof. Aaron Mushengyezi has urged the university’s Chancellor, council, and stakeholders to treat the education of the boy child as a matter of national urgency, citing a widening gender disparity in higher education enrolment and performance.
Out of the total graduates, 576 were male students who posted notable achievements, including 42 First Class honours part of a record 102 First Class degrees, the highest number in the university’s history.
