It was a glamorous and merrymaking Saturday evening as hundreds gathered at the Kampala Serena Hotel to witness the rewarding of people who have done special things in different fields, including Arts, Entrepreneurship, Media and Journalism, Philanthropy, Innovation, and Sports.
This was another edition of The Young Achievers Awards, a project that was rolled out in 2009 by two entrepreneurs Awel Uwihanganye, and Ivan Serwano Kyambadde to “recognize and celebrate outstanding youth in the Ugandan Community that have excelled in” some of the aforementioned sectors and whose works are contributing to the change of society or are hoped to.
The event was graced by Kenya’s Deputy President William Ruto, who was accompanied by some members of his family and other leaders from Kenya. Ruto received the Lifetime Achievement award at the ceremony.
At the event, President Yoweri Museveni, who was supposed to be the guest of honor, was represented by the Prime Minister Dr. Ruhakana Rugunda. Ministers Amelia Kyambadde (Trade and Industry), David Bahati (junior Finance) and Florence Nakiwala (Youth and Children Affairs) also graced the event.
