BACKGROUND
I am the third born in my late father’s lineage and the first born in my mother’s lineage. Our family stays at my maternal uncle’s house with us obtaining our daily living and income from daily causal garden works for example weeding, harvesting and many others. I started schooling from Rwebishuri primary school, then to Mbarara secondary school up to date at Mbarara university.
MY CHOICE OF STUDIES
I was inspired to pursue to be a change maker in agriculture because agriculture is the back bone of Uganda but land production is static with increasing population. Also because the government’s statements of increased problems of food insecurity and malnutrition cases caused by high rates of post harvest losses, poor soils and poor managerial practices. My dream job is working as an agricultural extension worker helping the local rural farmers obtains access to scientifically improved farming methods. For example precision agriculture improves production and productivity of the local farmers at both large and small scale thus improving their livelihoods. My dream job also involves working with gender concepts of sensitizing women and girls to also take part in the agricultural sector in terms of planning so they can also obtain income.
INTERESTS
I like listening to music, playing guitar as well as key board, making new friends, playing volley ball and table tennis. I also like watching movies and reading novels.
