The Alumni Villages Land Project has unveiled its fifth phase in Kagoma Town Council, Jinja District, reinforcing its mission of empowering young Ugandans through affordable land ownership and community development.
The new project, situated on four acres of land, marks another milestone for the fast-growing initiative, which has steadily gained recognition for creating opportunities for youth to invest in property and secure long-term financial stability.
Over the last six years, the project has expanded across several regions of Uganda, successfully completing four earlier phases. These include the first phase in Namataba, Mukono District, which initially covered 4.25 acres before expanding by an additional 3.5 acres, bringing the total to 7.25 acres.
The second phase was established in Budaka District on 4.36 acres, while the third phase in Buikwe District began on three acres and later expanded by 0.425 acres. The fourth phase was launched in Mbarara City on three acres.
Collectively, the initiative has now secured more than 26 acres of land nationwide, enabling over 60 young people to own plots at subsidised rates, while more than 230 members remain hopeful of benefiting from future phases.
Speaking during the launch, Project Director Katto Paulo said the initiative goes beyond selling land and is focused on building sustainable communities for young Ugandans.
“This fifth phase reflects our continued commitment to creating opportunities for young people to invest in their future through land ownership. We are not just selling land; we are building communities,” Katto said.
The project has emerged as a practical response to the growing challenge of land affordability among Uganda’s youth, many of whom struggle to access property due to rising land prices and limited financial opportunities.
By introducing affordable pricing structures and flexible payment plans, Alumni Villages has positioned itself as an accessible pathway for youth seeking economic independence and long-term investment opportunities.
Project Secretary John Lufafa said each completed phase has strengthened both the initiative’s credibility and operational systems.
“Each phase has strengthened our systems and trust with members. The demand continues to grow because young people are seeing real value and long-term impact,” Lufafa explained.
Beneficiaries of the project say the initiative has transformed their lives by making land ownership achievable.
One of the beneficiaries, Joanitah Nyanda, described the project as life-changing.
“Being part of this project changed my life. Owning land felt impossible before, but now I am planning my future with confidence,” she said.
Publicity Manager Lule Eriah described the initiative as a broader movement aimed at driving social and economic transformation among Uganda’s youth.
“The Alumni Villages Land Project is more than an investment platform—it is a movement driving social and community development among young Ugandans across the country,” Eriah said.
As the fifth phase takes shape in Jinja District, the Alumni Villages Land Project continues to position itself as an innovative youth-focused initiative addressing land accessibility, financial empowerment, and sustainable community development in Uganda.
