Between the years of 2000 to 2003, Northern Uganda faced
serious insecurity of LRA rebels, families where displaced,
abducted and killed by the rebels causing Bonny to drop
out of school to support his parents with survival in the
camp. This period of time was for better for worst for most
families, Bonny went back to the village to live with his
grandmother where he burn charcoal to take care of his
family and supported his grandma.

one, he remained a lone as grandma was taken by her

mans’ house but he survived being knifed two times by the
elder son of the rich man in fear that he be entitled for land

downfall. In 2009, he opted for a treasure hunt but he had
no definite direction but life continued teaching him
several lessons until he boarded for Arua District and started
building a life.

students at National Teachers College Muni and found
happiness in his new venture because he could pay a rent
of 3000UGX monthly, fed him-self and lived happily without
any mocks, harassment or intimidations from anyone but
that was not his dream.
In year 2010, left washing students’ clothes and started

organization’s vision and mission. Here are some tips for

individuals who use their entrepreneurial skills to create
innovative solutions to social problems. They are driven by
a desire to make a positive impact on society and are
willing to take risks to achieve their goals. Social
entrepreneurship is a growing trend, and it is often
associated with progress, development, and innovation.
There are four primary types of social entrepreneurs:
community social entrepreneurs, non-profit social
entrepreneurs, transformational social entrepreneurs, and
global social entrepreneurs.
Community social entrepreneurs prioritize the needs of a
small geographical region, usually the community they live
in. Non-profit social entrepreneurs focus on philanthropic
activities and seek to produce environmentally-friendly
products or serve an underserved community.
Transformational social entrepreneurs aim to address the
root causes behind social problems, while global social
entrepreneurs work on a larger scale to create positive
social change.
Social entrepreneurs design their thinking around the 6 P’s
of launching an idea: people, problem, plan, prioritize,
prototype, and pursue. By following these steps, social
entrepreneurs can set clear goals that are aligned with
their organization’s vision and mission. Effective leadership
is also crucial for social entrepreneurship. Leaders must set
clear goals that are measurable and achievable, involve
their team in the goal-setting process, track their progress,
and celebrate their successes along the way.
Lecture 3: Ogwal’s view on how to escape poverty trap?
The CEO spoke about poverty trap in Uganda, Ogwal
expressed his sadness on how young people in Uganda
inherits poverty traps from their families due to lack of Life
planning skills. He explained that life planning skills and
team building are two important concepts that can help
you achieve your goals and improve your personal and
professional life. Here are some tips for developing life
planning skills and building effective teams:
Set clear goals: Setting clear goals is essential for effective
life planning. Use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria to ensure that your
goals are Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, and
Time-bound. This will help you stay focused and motivated.
Prioritize your tasks: Prioritizing your tasks is crucial for
effective time management. Identify the most important
tasks and focus on completing them first. This will help you
stay organized and avoid feeling overwhelmed.

Lecture 4: Ogwal’s view on hands on skills and experience
based education for Uganda’s next generation.
Ogwal believes that the only way to save African youth is
only through hands-on skills. According to Ogwal Hands on
Skills are abilities acquired through active engagement
and practical learning rather than the typical classroom
lectures or books. People can enforce these skills by
practicing what they’re learning immediately. This is an
influential and integral part of gaining other vital skills as a
skilled laborer, as developing hands-on skills can help you
increase your focus, attention and engagement 1.
Career guidance is a formal way for people to receive
advice on their career at different stages. Along with this
advice, this process often involves formal programs that
help people both plan and execute any decisions they
make in their career. Professionals in career development
often create generalized programs or custom programs for
individuals to help each person through these changes 2.

building effective teams:

life planning. Use the S.M.A.R.T. criteria to ensure that your
