Why this walk
The road is the invitation.
The Walk for Education is mobilising sponsorships, partnerships and public support for a stronger education pathway in and around Kagando. The campaign focuses on expanding UCU–Kagando University College while strengthening the neighbouring nursery and primary school — connecting foundational learning, higher education and long-term community opportunity.
What the campaign will build
Five priorities. One education pathway.
The walk creates attention; the development programme turns that attention into facilities, learning capacity and room for sustainable growth.
Lecture Rooms, Library & ICT
Expand modern learning spaces, library resources, digital infrastructure and teaching facilities.
Faculty, Staff & Campus Infrastructure
Build the offices, staff accommodation and core facilities a growing university requires.
Kagando Nursery & Primary School
Strengthen the neighbouring foundational-learning environment for children and families in the surrounding community.
University Expansion
Build the infrastructure needed to support planned growth from approximately 802 students toward 4,000–5,000 over five years.
