Uganda Christian University (UCU) Easter Semester Guild Bazaar officially kicked off on January 27, 2025. The event, organised by the guild government every semester, aims to provide students with affordable shopping options while helping them cut costs. Traditionally, the bazaar takes place in the second week of the semester, but this time, it was delayed.

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.

“For a WhatsApp message to qualify as contractually binding, there is a lot we look at,was there
an offer made, and if it was made, was there acceptance of the offer from the other party, and
most importantly, was there an intention to deal or agree?”Tonny Tumukunde, the speaker of
the Alumni Associations, says.

Byogero launched her business ‘Bridge’s Closet’ on a whim because she wanted to imitate the looks she saw on Pinterest. Bridget, a fashion enthusiast, enjoys playing with garments and designing them into something she would like to wear.

On the flip side, when prices drop, there’s a moment of relief for students. It eases the financial burden, allowing them to allocate funds more freely. Lower prices contribute to a sense of financial stability, positively influencing students’ spending habits.

In a bid to instill a positive attitude towards entrepreneurship among students, the Uganda Christian University (UCU) School of Business (SoB) has introduced an International Entrepreneurship Summer Camp to understand what it means to do business in Uganda. 

With diverse experiences shared by vendors and students alike, there’s anticipation that the UCU Street Bazaar will continue to evolve as it enters its second week. Despite the challenges, this two-week extravaganza promises to be an exciting opportunity for both vendors and students to engage in a bustling marketplace on campus. As the event continues, it remains a vibrant showcase of entrepreneurial spirit and a hub for discovering unique items at discounted prices.
