Mbarara Branch hosts Masaka Branch Youth as part of the 4 Youth - part Programme (Youth exchange programme). This is a learning and experience and skills sharing mission for the youths. The young people have had fun filled days with lots of activities including livelihood skills such as making leather shoes, key holders, basic first aid skills, backyard gardening among others. Team building skills have brought the Youths from both branches together as a family. #Youths #MbararaBranch #MasakaBranch #4YouthPartProgramme
