As we bid farewell, we extend our deepest gratitude for his invaluable contributions. While we will miss his presence, we celebrate the legacy of hard work and dedication he leaves behind:

‘The past five years with Azamu have been truly remarkable. He has played a key role in ensuring tasks are completed efficiently.

His dedication, selflessness, and unwavering positivity—always carrying a smile even in the most challenging moments—have been truly admirable. [Board member]

Before joining Uwezo, I prayed for the opportunity to be part of this organisation, and I am grateful that I was given the chance. I thank the management for giving me a chance to serve.  The team has been very supportive anytime I needed help from them.  I have made brothers and sisters with whom we have shared and learnt a lot. The supportive culture at Uwezo Uganda is really good and I thank my colleagues for making my work easy and successful.

I want to thank Uwezo Uganda Board members.” We are blessed as Uwezo for the Board members who are responsive and always available. I also extend my heartfelt thanks to Uwezo Uganda’s Executive Director whom I had the privilege of reporting to, your continuous guidance and support has been instrumental in my growth and improvement as an accountant and this has made my work possible and a success.
