In Uganda, the Kisa Kyamukama Community Empowerment Group (CEG), is a group of 25 participants, 19 women, and six men attending their first year of adult education study. 21 participants are active and 4 inactive due to health complications. The journey began in February 2023 during the training sessions for the roll-out of the Integrated Community Learning Empowerment for Wealth (ICOLEW) programme. These are based on local issues identified, prioritized, and ranked by the participants. The CEG met at one of the participant’s homes (Mr. Lobowa Fred) located at Luseese village, Nabigasa sub county in Kyotera district.

The leader of the group is the vibrant Chairperson of the CEG Mr. Ssenabulya Bonny who was excited to share more about what he and the group are learning. To him, people with disabilities (PWDs) must be integrated into all of the adult learning initiatives and confirmed that there is currently one PWD who participates in the programme.
