Bangbet Uganda has contributed UGX 22 million to support Asian language studies at Makerere University.<\/em><\/strong> <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Everwin Golden Silk Uganda Company Limited, trading as Bangbet Uganda, has contributed USD 6,000 approximately UGX 22 million to support students pursuing Asian language studies at Makerere University.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The scholarships were awarded on Friday, 14 August, to first-, second- and third-year students enrolled in Asian language programmes at the university.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ceremony also recognised previous scholarship recipients with certificates and welcomed new students joining the programmes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bangbet Manager Congratulates Scholarship Recipients<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Kisakye Olivious, manager at Everwin Golden Silk Uganda Company Limited, congratulated the beneficiaries and encouraged them to remain committed to their studies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOn behalf of Everwin Golden Silk Uganda Company Limited, I sincerely congratulate all the students receiving scholarships today,\u201d Kisakye said. \u201cWe are pleased to contribute USD 6,000 towards the scholarship programme. We hope this support will encourage the students to continue working hard, pursue their education and achieve their goals.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She said the company views education as an investment in Uganda\u2019s future and believes businesses have a responsibility to support the communities in which they operate.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYoung people are the future of our country, and education gives them the knowledge, confidence and opportunities they need to build a better Uganda,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe believe companies have a responsibility to support the communities where they operate. Our USD 6,000 scholarship contribution is our small way of giving back and supporting the next generation.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Students Welcome Scholarship Support<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Several scholarship recipients thanked Bangbet Uganda for supporting their education. They said the initiative would help them continue their studies while developing valuable language, cultural and communication skills.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why the Scholarship Matters<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Proficiency in Asian languages can prepare Ugandan students for opportunities in trade, tourism, translation, diplomacy and other internationally connected fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through its Asian language programmes, Makerere University equips students with communication skills and cross-cultural knowledge that can strengthen their academic and career prospects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The UGX 22 million contribution demonstrates the important role private-sector organisations can play in expanding access to education and supporting students as they prepare for the workplace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Makerere University: At the Heart of Education in Uganda<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Makerere University holds an important place in Uganda\u2019s education sector. As one of the country\u2019s most prominent institutions of higher learning, the university has educated generations of professionals, researchers, entrepreneurs and leaders who continue to contribute to Uganda\u2019s development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Supporting students at Makerere University is therefore an investment not only in individual beneficiaries but also in the future of the country. By helping students access education and develop valuable skills, organisations can contribute to building a more knowledgeable, confident and competitive generation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bangbet\u2019s Commitment to the Community<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Bangbet Uganda believes its role in society extends beyond business. The company is passionate about supporting education, promoting sports and contributing to the well-being of people in the communities where it operates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Through initiatives such as the Makerere University scholarship donation, Bangbet Uganda aims to create opportunities, encourage young people and contribute positively to Uganda\u2019s social and economic development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The company believes education opens doors, sports bring people together and community support helps individuals build better lives. These areas will remain central to Bangbet Uganda\u2019s commitment to giving back and making a meaningful difference.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
