History

Bugala was opened in 1996 by a group of professionals from different parts of the world to offer formation to students and young professionals to help them be loyal,hard-working and God fearing Citizens. It was first located on Makerere Hill Road until 2003 when the centre moved to its current location on Plot 2 Kyadondo Road, Nakasero that provided a more spacious environment suited to it's activities. As early as 1996, Bugala organized the first work camp that was held in Matale, Masaka district. The camp brought together students from Ireland, Kenya and Uganda. Since then Bugala has organized many activities that have enabled many to discover a deeper meaning in their lives, including an annual work camp to bring students from different backgrounds at the service of the most needy in our society.
