Ssuubi Henry Kiyimba, a Makerere University freshman who was attacked on social media for carrying his metallic box to his university life, has reaped more good than expected after a group of Ugandans on social media decided they will turn his ‘misfortunes’ into success.

From President Museveni’s press secretary who promised a leather suitcase, Makerere University VC who promised to oversee his smooth stay, to seasoned journalist Allan Kasujja who vowed to prepare a table to shame the freshman’s attackers.

Now a group of Ugandans on Twitter have raised a number of items to deliver to Kiyimba.

Among items so far pledged to support Kiyimba includes; A laptop and clothes from a one Hashim Wasswa, shoes, a smartphone with unlimited data and airtime from a one Dennis Kakonge, beddings from power FM presenter Mulungi and her listeners, a leather suitcase as well as Shs2m to cover a debt at Kiyimba’s former school.
