What the report says

Ugandan musician Bruno Kiggundu, known as Bruno K, is using his social media presence to respond to requests for help from people in need, according to Sqoop Uganda. The article says his inbox receives close to 15 appeals a day, and that he has turned that attention into a channel for fundraising and practical support.

Sqoop Uganda reports that Bruno K says the approach is rooted in guidance from his spiritual father, Apostle Grace Lubega, who encouraged him to use his influence to improve lives and spread positivity. The singer also links his interest in giving to his family background, saying charitable habits were common among relatives long before his music career brought him wider fame.

The piece highlights one early example of the effort: support for a dance crew that became the subject of public criticism during a television programme involving the late Alex Mukulu. Bruno K and other Ugandans reportedly backed the group with money and encouragement, aiming to restore their dignity as well as help them materially. The article frames his online charity work as part of a broader trend of artists using digital platforms to mobilize support, and as a reminder of the unmet needs many Ugandans face behind the scenes.
