Emmanuel Musoke

Emmanuel Musoke was born on 24^th of December 1964 in Kisubi, near Entebbe/Uganda. He is the youngest son of Charles and Deodata Nsubuga. After him, five more sisters were born. His father is now 82 years old, his mother 77 years old.

Emmanuel Musoke was given the opportunity to train as a printer in St. Ottilien through connections of the episcopal ordinariate to Germany. He graduated from vocational school in Munich on Pranckhstraße, where he met Thomas Langsch being his teacher.

Emmanuel Musoke speaks excellent German and, after his return to Uganda in 1995, was head of the episcopal printing house in Masaka/Uganda from 1995 to 2011. Due to his language skills and extensive connections in the country and to Germany, he is often called upon by public institutions as an interpreter or mediator and consultant.

Today, together with his wife Goretti Namujomba Musoke, he cares for about 120 AIDS orphans. The most important goal for him is to improve the living conditions of the Ugandan population by supporting the education of the children. Some have already successfully completed their education and are "standing on their own two feet".

During a visit to Uganda by the chairmen of the Association, they were able to convince themselves that the goal of the Association: "Help for self-help" was implemented in a great way. The project operates far beyond its borders; five surrounding small villages and thus about 255 families (800 adults and 1,533 children) benefit, e.g. through the construction of a medical center, the renovation and expansion of the local primary school or the creation of jobs.

Today, with the help of grants from other sources, the project is self-sustaining, which is why Hand in Hand für Uganda e.V. has been investing its resources and opportunities in new activities since the summer of 2011.
