For many people today, saving money is a helpful way to put some money away that they might need in the future for an emergency or to pay for a goal they have had, such as furthering their studies or building their house. However, saving on your own is not as easy to do. It takes discipline and commitment.
“I genuinely love all the changes around campus, especially the pavers. My favourite area is around Bishop Tucker, which is really pleasing to the eye,” said Michelle Lubogo, a second-year law student.
His radiance is hard to miss. Bubbly and so full of life, a young man with dreams the size of a truck. Though Somali by descent, he hasn’t let borders confine his pursuit for knowledge. He has decided to transcend boundaries.
This insatiable desire to build personal competence has landed him in Mukono and he is upbeat. “Uganda is an organized country, the education system in Uganda is well-developed, and I believed it would provide me with the right skills and knowledge,” he tells me as he smiles.
As he grew up, he was attracted by the way the doctors carried themselves at the hospital and how they conducted their work.
Acquisition of these capabilities is especially critical for nurses and even more so for developing countries like Uganda.

From a trade school to a lay readers training college and now part of the Uganda Christian University (UCU) family, the Arua campus has shown a marked growth in both enrollment and importance to the community in the northwestern part of Uganda.
UCU constructed a $300,000 wastewater treatment plant in 2006. Two-thirds of the cost of the plant, the first of its kind for any institution in Uganda, was funded by the Diocese of Sidney’s Overseas Relief and Aid Fund of Australia.
Work, dedication and discipline paid off for the Uganda Christian University (UCU) School of Law class of 2020/2021 as these graduates topped the list at the 50th Law Development Center (LDC) graduation. Among the top 20 students who scored a first-class degree at the LDC graduation in June, 10 did their Bachelor’s Degree at UCU.
In the bustling halls of the university, the air was thick with anticipation as the end of semester examinations loomed just days away. The campus, usually alive with various events and activities, had transformed into a serene haven for diligent students, all united by a common purpose: to conquer their exams and emerge victorious. The atmosphere was one of focused dedication, a symphony of rustling papers, intense discussions, and the occasional soft sigh.
