By last year, we had spread our presence to 7 universities around Uganda but were stretched to the limit. With a staff of 2, it was not possible to scale further without placing more responsibilities on students to run activities on their campuses.

Fortunately, the grant from Kosmos Journal enabled us to run a 4-day training camp in August last year for 102 students from 15 universities. Along the idyllic shores of Lake Victoria, we trained these students to become ‘Uniters’. They would lead activities on their campuses in order to engage more students in social action and global citizenship…

The result: we are currently helping 85 projects with consultancy, and 15 of them have partnerships with international volunteers– in large part thanks to Kosmos Journal!
