In Uganda, success often begins quietly—before sunrise, on dusty roads, and with nothing but determination. Kato, a young man from Wakiso, is a perfect example of this. He had no university degree, no expensive tools, just an old radio, a notebook, and a strong belief in learning.
Every night, Kato would sit by candlelight and listen to radio programmes about technology, business, and local news. He wrote down ideas, practiced on old phones, and slowly built his skills. While many people laughed at him, saying, “Books don’t put food on the table”, Kato knew that self-taught skills could change his life.
One afternoon at the trading centre, a shop owner struggled to fix a customer’s phone. Kato offered to help—and within minutes, the phone was working. Word spread fast. People came from all over the village and even nearby towns to see the young man with extraordinary skills. His self-taught abilities opened doors to small business opportunities, a loyal customer base, and respect from his community.
Today, Kato runs his own repair shop, teaches other youth, and is a living example that self-taught skills in Uganda can transform lives. His story proves that education doesn’t only come from classrooms—curiosity, discipline, and consistency can be just as powerful.
