For anyone wishing to ensure financial security, including university students, it is important that they plan how they use, save and invest their money. We spoke with some of the students to share with us how they plan to manage their personal finances this semester.

Biogas technology, derived from organic materials like agricultural residues and organic waste, is a vital renewable energy source in the global pursuit of sustainability. It supports the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 7 (Affordable and Clean Energy) and SDG 13 (Climate Action), by reducing greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions, enhancing energy access, and promoting circular economies. The biogas demonstration plant at Uganda Christian University (UCU) exemplifies how localised efforts can advance these goals, encouraging community engagement and amplifying global impact.

Even with its strengths, traditional parenting can sometimes feel too strict for children today. Too many rules may limit children’s ability to express themselves, and they might find it hard to openly share their feelings. Additionally, some traditional ideas may seem outdated and not fit well in today’s fast-changing world.

Many men who become fathers today grew up without positive father figures. This absence of good role models often leads to difficulties in parenting. Without examples of nurturing and supportive fatherhood, some men lack the knowledge or understanding of how to effectively care for and guide their children. This gap can sometimes result in harmful behaviours, including harshness or abuse, as negative patterns from their own childhoods are repeated.
