Hello, my name is Mwebe Anthony - a graduate from Buiga Sunrise primary school. I started schooling from Sunrise since 2013. My parents brought me to live with my aunt when I was 8 years of age. This is when I started my primary level in grade one. It was my first time to join a unique school, indeed it was my first time to see white people haha (muzungu in my language). I wondered and told my aunt that I usually see them in movies - wow it was a surprise to me. The teachers where like my friends - they were more kind and nurturing, and they helped me develop essential skills like reading, writing and counting.

My name is Nakyonyi Catherine and I am an alumni student of Buiga Sunrise School. I am 24 years old and also a preschool teacher at Buiga Sunrise School. My baby girl is named Najjuma Soliana Skylar Kirabo. She was born on 31st of January 2025 with the help of midwife Harriet, from Gentle Hearts, and my sister Jovia who is a midwife student and also an alumni student of Buiga Sunrise School.

This is my story of the delivery of my baby girl. It all started with false labor pain on 27th of January 2025….

Hello, my name is Nakabuya Jovia. I am a graduate from Buiga Sunrise School and am doing my last year in medical school as an Enrolled Midwife.

I joined Buiga Sunrise preschool in 2007 when I was just 2 years old. Later in primary school my mom couldn't afford to support me to continue with my studies - this was really a hard time for me because I wanted to become a great nurse so I could help save people's lives and change my family status.

When I go back to my roots of being a teenager, whenever I had my holidays in my home village, I would always love visiting health centers , simply because I wanted to compare how my grandmother performed home birth. She always delivered with kindness to the mothers and good work. I noticed that the mothers always preferred her services to that of the hospital. Seeing this from her I got inspired to be trained in a modern way, by going to a nursing school.

From Dream to Reality ~ Hi, my name is Oketchi Michael Joseph. I am from Uganda, and I'd like to share my journey, which began with a simple dream to become an electrical engineer.

My story is deeply intertwined with Buiga Sunrise School, a school that truly changed my life. I joined Sunrise in 2017, at the age of 13, entering Grade 6 (Primary Six). Before that, I had spent a full year at home, unable to attend my previous school due to financial hardships faced by my mother….
