Uganda Christian University (UCU) Easter Semester Guild Bazaar officially kicked off on January 27, 2025.

Many students, both innovators and consumers have expressed their outmost appreciation towards the business community for fostering this initiative calling it a stepping stone towards financial independence and practical economic literacy.

It began with a simple stroll around the bazaar grounds at Uganda Christian University (UCU) Derrick Matovu, a School of Business student, was there to see the latest trends within the exhibitors. That casual trip to the bazaar last year provided Matovu an unexpected opportunity.
