“The spirit of Omukama Kabalega lives on through the work of the Kabalega Foundation — reminding us that Africa must reclaim her history to shape her destiny. It was an honour to stand before a generation ready to rise, not in imitation, but in purpose and dedication to shape the path of Africa. I commend this initiative as a bold step toward restoring African identity, pride, and leadership."
Prof. P.L.O. Lumumba
Keynote Speaker, Inaugural Kabalega Memorial Lecture

“The Kabalega Foundation’s Green Future Campaign is a timely and transformative initiative for Hoima and beyond. It is empowering our youth, greening our communities, and awakening a shared responsibility for environmental stewardship. As a city, we stand with the Foundation in championing a future where development and sustainability walk hand in hand.”

“The Kabalega Foundation has created a vital platform for us to reconnect with our roots and each other. Though events such as the Kabalega Independence Run, we celebrate our heritage, bridge generational gaps, and strengthen the social fabric that binds us together. In times when division threatens progress, these initiatives are a timely reminder of who we are and what we can achieve in unity.”

These efforts are vital in ensuring that progress respects both people and the planet.”
