Empowering Young Men: Rotary Club's Boy Child Uplifting Program

In a groundbreaking initiative, the Rotary Club of Kyadondo launched the Boy Child Uplifting Program (BCUP), a transformative project aimed at empowering young men in the Kamwokya ghetto. This pioneering effort focused on fostering mindset change, economic empowerment, and technical skills training in construction.

In partnership with the Nakawa Vocational Training Institute (DIT), the BCUP project provided training to over 27 youths from vulnerable and underprivileged backgrounds in Kamwokya. This comprehensive program sought to create sustainable employment opportunities, enabling these young individuals to build better futures for themselves and their communities.

The BCUP project was a signature initiative championed by Rtn. Duncan Tayebwa under the leadership of President Vicky Nyamahunge. The graduation ceremony was presided over by District Governor Edward Kakembo (@rotaryd9213), emphasizing the importance of empowering disadvantaged boys with technical skills. This effort paved the way for self-reliance and family upliftment.

Special recognition went to Duncan Tayebwa, who played a pivotal role in securing sponsorships for the project.

The dedication of Boy Child Ambassador Duncan Tayebwa, along with the incredible support of Nakawa Vocational Training College and our generous sponsors, paid off. All graduates secured placements with various construction companies, launching their careers and marking a significant milestone in the project's success.

Building on the success of BCUP, a new initiative was launched by Gibson Nangono and PE.Stella Arwako, encouraging club members to adopt children from the BCUP community. This program enabled members to provide parental support, facilitate payment of school fees, and assign guardians to these children.

The Rotary Club of Kyadondo's commitment to empowering young men and supporting vulnerable communities was a testament to the club's dedication to creating positive change. The success of BCUP continues to inspire the club's efforts to uplift and empower communities in need.
