Dr Says his life started well because his patents especially the mother was working as a nurse.

 "My situation somehow turned bad when my mother was being transfered to different places of work and I was left in the hands of grand mother. It was a bit of struggle.

 "My education was through struggle and I couldn't believe that I would be here", He says adding during his primary education, he could move 8kms from his home and back in the evening. " I started my academic Journey from St Augustine Demonstration school Butiiti and I remember I had no uniform," he narrates.

When I got there, I found her children playing with toys and I joined them. By the time I was reminded to go back home it was late and my brother Jimmy had also left. I set off at around 7:00pm and as I was walking past Butiiti dispensary, from no where I heard two men shouting in Kiswahili Kula Kula eat him, eat him as they run towards me.

He says after finishing his primary education out of struggle, he performed well and was admitted at Nyakasura but unfortunately he could not join the school of his choice due to financial issues.

"I ended up at Mpanga S S which was a day school in Fort portal town". 

"The journey was 32Kms which I could not walked and my Auntie Akiiki Jane Kajumba offered me a house at her humble home in Harukooto," Dr reveals to use on pool side.

He says his journey to life has not been easy but he encourages people who are facing the same challenges not to lose hope because things can change in life.
