Explorer of the Day: Mubangizi Hopes to Improve the Youths Livelihoods

KIU, Western Campus câ¬â€œ Our câ¬Å“Explorer of the Dayc⬝ is Sebastian Mubangizi, a clinical officer and third-year-student pursuing a Bachelor of Medicine and Surgery. The soft-spoken, lanky gentleman is also an aspiring politician and hopes to become an MP soon.

Mubangizi, a genuine product of the KIU community has spent more than six years in the KIU ecosystem and credits KIU for giving him the education he needed to become a successful clinical officer.

Next, Mubangizi has his eyes sent on becoming the Western Youth MP in 2021. Inspired by his will to make a difference, the clinical office believes he can improve the well-being of disadvantaged youth in Western Uganda.

câ¬Å“Many youths in Western Uganda are dependent on their parents, and others have drifted into the abyss of drug addiction,c⬝ Mubangizi says. câ¬Å“Through sensitization on activities like beekeeping, mushroom and fruit growing, they can turn their lives around because they have unutilized land.c⬝

The enterprising clinical officer/aspiring politician has his feet set in the world of entrepreneurship as well.

câ¬Å“I am doing business with a Kenyan friend, with whom we buy câ¬Ëœbitengecâ¬â„c (traditional African wear) from DR Congo and then export them to Kenya,c⬝ he says.

Surely, Mubangizi shares in the spirit of câ¬Å“Exploring the Heights.c⬝
