On 5th May 2026, Bishop Stuart University team, led by the University Secretary and the Public Relations Officer, conducted an evaluation visit in Kikuube District to assess the progress of skilled refugees and national youth who have benefited from artisan programmes and university short-course training initiatives.
The visit highlighted the remarkable impact of BSU’s community empowerment programmes, which continue to equip young people with practical skills for self-reliance, employment and entrepreneurship. Several beneficiaries shared inspiring testimonies about how the training has improved their livelihoods and opened new opportunities for personal and economic growth.
BSU team also received positive feedback from the Chief Administrative Officer (CAO) of Kikuube District, who commended the university for its strong partnership and contribution towards youth empowerment and community transformation in the district.
The evaluation visit precedes the 3rd Cohort Short Course Graduation Ceremony, scheduled for 6th May 2026, where beneficiaries will officially celebrate their achievements and the successful completion of their training.
Through initiatives such as the Skilled Refugees Youth Empowerment Programme, Bishop Stuart University continues to demonstrate its commitment to transforming communities through education, skills development and innovations.
