Uganda Baati Limited (UBL) has paid a high-level courtesy visit to the Katikkiro of Buganda, Charles Peter Mayiga, at Bulange Mengo, in a strategic engagement that reaffirmed the growing relationship between the company and the Buganda Kingdom.
The meeting, conducted earlier this afternoon, brought together leadership from both institutions for focused discussions on collaboration, shared priorities, and long-term impact.
A key highlight of the meeting was Uganda Baati’s commitment of Shs 10 million towards the upcoming Kabaka Birthday Run 2026 scheduled for 12 April 2026. The contribution reinforces the company’s continued support for initiatives that mobilize communities at scale and bring attention to critical health and social issues affecting Ugandans.
Discussions also focused on how Uganda Baati can deepen its footprint within Buganda by aligning its Lifestyle product range with the Kingdom’s expansive and dynamic business ecosystem. The conversation explored opportunities to connect more directly with traders, homeowners, and entrepreneurs at the center of economic activity within the Kingdom.
Charles Peter Mayiga welcomed Uganda Baati’s continued engagement with the Kingdom and acknowledged the importance of strategic partnerships that respond to community needs.
“We appreciate partners who take the time to understand our priorities and engage with us in a meaningful way. Uganda Baati’s commitment reflects a level of intentionality that aligns with our vision of improving livelihoods and strengthening the economy of our communities,” he said.
Both parties emphasized the importance of deliberate engagement, noting that strong institutional relationships are key to sustainable growth. The meeting provided a platform to identify practical areas of collaboration to be implemented in the near to medium term, with a focus on relevance, accessibility, and long-term value.
Uganda Baati’s Chief Executive Officer, George Arodi, highlighted the company’s commitment to building impactful partnerships, noting that collaboration with the Buganda Kingdom presents an opportunity to create lasting value.
“This engagement reflects how seriously we take partnerships rooted in community and relevance. Our continued dialogue with the Kingdom is part of a broader commitment to remain present, responsive, and aligned with the people we serve,” he said.
In line with the run’s theme, “Men Against HIV/AIDS to Save the Girl Child,” Uganda Baati will host an on-site tent set up as a mobile clinic, providing counselling and distributing HIV awareness materials to support participants and the wider community.
The meeting concluded with a shared commitment to sustain engagement through actionable initiatives to be rolled out over time. Both Uganda Baati and the Buganda Kingdom expressed confidence in the strength of their partnership and the opportunities it presents for mutual growth and impact.
As Uganda Baati continues to expand its presence across Uganda, engagements like this reinforce its role not only as a provider of quality building solutions, but also as a partner in the country’s social and economic development.
