Pearl of Africa Star Search winner Sandra Nansambu and Reach A Hand Uganda‘s Humphrey Nabimanya star on Satisfashion UG‘s August digital cover themed ‘Forces of Change‘. ‘Forces of Change‘ is a celebration of individuals who are using their work, skills, talents and opportunities to create a better world for all of us.
The two changemakers were styled by Karenhappuch Ibiara and photographed by Gerald Ochieng for the story. But, it’s the accompanying profiles that stood out more. They opened up about how they found their purpose and what change means to them.
See a few excerpts below
“Uganda is big, Africa is bigger, and I can only contribute what I’m able to contribute. However, out of 100% of the young people we are serving, there is at least 1% that I’ve seen achieve it, and to me, that small satisfaction is enough. The road we are on is a moving train, and there is a lot that is still being done. On that moving train we have had people who have succeeded in their life, started their own businesses and NGOs that are up and running. We have cultural icons, who are musicians, inspired by Reach A Hand Uganda to start their own initiatives. I meet young people I worked with in 2011, and they are like, “Humphrey you changed my life,” and for me, that statement is always enough to show that we are creating an impact in people’s lives.” – Humphrey Nabimanya
“Honestly, I spent a lot of my childhood hiding. I had low esteem. Being a differently abled person, I always kept myself behind. However, the moment I realised that this is my uniqueness, and I have to celebrate it instead of hiding it, that’s when the Sandra you see now came alive.” – Sandra Nansambu
