The Kamugasa Challenge is an online blog for sharing thoughts with the intention of inspiring our own and the next generation to turn challenges into coherent and meaningful solutions, focusing on humanity, leadership, and citizenship. Publishing on a bi-monthly basis, every second Monday, the blog will feature compelling articles, essays, stories, letters, poems, interviews, podcasts, videos, and others – the equivalent of lighting a lamp so that others may light up their lamps by it.
Anyone who really cares about what we do can either publish as a ‘guest blogger’ on our blog or be a ‘guest’ on the Conversations with Stephen Kamugasa podcast. If you wish to publish with us or be a guest on our podcast, you must, in addition to sharing our vision, agree to the following terms.
