“I used to use computer for music and films, now it has become an important way in which I record and keep my information,” Kyambadde remarks.

Kyambadde a businessman with an enterprise called World of Wonders Enterprise, notes that the new knowledge acquired with training from the Business Development Centre at UIRI is now a valuable skill in his work and looks hopeful in accessing other skills from the institute, particularly in his other area of interest, which is, soap making.
