About RUYA

Rwenzori United Youth Association (RUYA) is a dynamic youth association established in 2017. Founded by Mr. Bwambale Oswarudo within the Bukangara Catholic parish in Kasese Diocese, Nyakiyumbu sub-county, Kasese district, RUYA emerged from a crucial need to enhance opportunities for youth to access essential services and skills, thereby improving their quality of life.

Recognizing that approximately 80% of Uganda's population comprises youth, RUYA is dedicated to uniting and empowering this significant demographic to actively support and contribute to national development.
