Bishop Jjumba Commends Nyunga Foundation for Transforming Education

What the report says

Masaka Diocese Bishop Serverus Jjumba has praised the Nyunga Foundation for helping expand access to education for disadvantaged children, saying its work has supported more than 25,000 learners. The remarks, reported by Nile Post, were made at the Curia in Kitovu, where the bishop met members of the Engabi Ennyunga clan led by clan head Omutaka Kannyana Daniel Kiwana.

According to the report, the clan delegation visited to thank Jjumba for his encouragement when the foundation was launched. The foundation is led by Stephen Muyunga, who also serves as the clan’s Katikkiro and the foundation’s executive director. Muyunga said the group provides charitable assistance based on need and without discrimination.

Jjumba said the initiative has helped children who might otherwise struggle to remain in school and urged the public to support the foundation so it can meet its goals. He also welcomed broader community involvement in charitable work. The foundation’s activities, as described in the article, extend beyond education and include support for other community needs, such as construction of places of worship.

The meeting also included the presentation of gifts to the bishop and diocesan priests as a gesture of appreciation for their spiritual guidance. More broadly, the report highlights how local faith and clan networks are being used to support education and community development in the Masaka area.
