Baobab Ambassador and super user sharing stories, on the Baobab platform, networking, taking courses and encouraging scholars and Alumni to join the the platform. I have also shared valuable feedback to improve the platform, organized events and info sessions, Q&A session where users ask any questions and receive the help they need or get a referral.

I was a writer and later promoted to an Editor of the Alumnet Magazine.

I wrote various stories about leadership, giveback and peer mentorship. As an Editor, I gathered stories, edited them, and ensured that the editorial guidelines were followed.

We had a massive submission of stories the more we encouraged scholars to speak up and tell others about their incredible journeys.

I am the Founder Girls Alive Uganda, a community initiative I co-founded to promote menstrual health education, access to menstrual products and skills development for girls and young people in underserved communities.

I pitched the project at the Mastercard Foundation Baobab Summit in Rwanda in 2018, where it was selected through the Resolution Project Social Venture Challenge. Since then, I have worked with schools and communities to provide menstrual health education, reusable pad-making training, mentorship and community outreach.

This was the inaugural edition of "Changemakers: The Alumni Journey," a Mastercard Foundation Scholar Alumni Magazine!

The first issue was entirely crafted by alumni for alumni.

I met with Dr. Yeukai Milambo in Kigali Rwanda and I pitched the first Alumni Magazine. I had the opportunity to work on the project as the project lead, ensuring that we met the core vision and purpose of the magazine.

From coordinating with the Editor, writers and contributors, to promoting the call so that scholars and Alumni share their stories. I sorted submitted stories and also contributed to the magazine as a writer.

Within the pages, you'll find a wealth of content produced by fellow alumni, including over 170 Alumni spotlights, 10 engaging articles covering topics such as entrepreneurship, financial literacy, the Francophone community, and life as a freelancer. Additionally, we've included highlights fro...

As part of my journalism internship, I developed a documentary and solutions journalism project examining how information and sustainable farming practices can transform smallholder livelihoods in Uganda.

The story followed Mubiru John, a tomato farmer with 25 years of experience, alongside farmers participating in Population, Health and Environment (PHE) programs.

My Role was to pitch and develop the story, identify and interview sources, conduct field reporting, write the documentary script and solutions piece, and work with a producer through production.

I co-founded and led the development of Debunk Information Verifier, an AI-powered public tool designed to help people verify information and identify potentially misleading claims.

The project builds on Debunk Media Initiative’s fact-checking work and makes verification more accessible through digital technology.

I led the project’s vision and development, identified the need for a public verification tool, coordinated the technical team, developed partnerships, and oversaw its launch and growth. From a WhatsApp Number to a an API version to what we now have as an Application.

The debunk is run by a dedicated team of fact-checkers committed to fighting the spread of fake news. We work together to achieve impact and are guided by our values of respect, humility, honesty and integrity. We creatively and collaboratively work amongst ourselves and with partners.

We had to take a year-long hiatus as a result of the pandemic in 2020, so you can understand our excitement in putting together this year’s edition of Data Fest!
