Billionaire Dr. Hamis Kiggundu, a celebrated Ugandan author and entrepreneur, recently traveled to Namibia with a mission close to his heart, to inspire Africa’s next generation. In a move to foster critical thinking and purposeful action, Dr. Kiggundu donated 10,000 copies of his thought-provoking books, Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality and Reason as the World Masterpiece, to Namibian youth. His vision? To help them unlock their potential and equip them with tools for lasting prosperity.
A Powerful Gift of Knowledge
This book donation is more than just a collection of pages; it’s a catalyst for transformation. Dr. Kiggundu’s work urges young Africans to embrace reason, harness their inner potential, and approach challenges with a clear purpose. His books offer a blueprint for tackling Africa’s unique obstacles, blending messages of self-development and resourcefulness to empower the continent’s youth.
“Reason as the World Masterpiece”: Africa’s Path to Prosperity
In Reason as the World Masterpiece, Dr. Kiggundu explores how logical thinking and purposeful action are the keys to prosperity. He discusses why Africa, despite its wealth of natural resources, has struggled to reach its full potential. According to Dr. Kiggundu, the difference lies in the use of reason—a skill Western nations have applied to achieve progress. His message resonates: the path to a prosperous Africa is through rational and purposeful use of resources.
“Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality”: A Guide to Financial Success
In contrast, Success and Failure Based on Reason and Reality provides practical advice for financial empowerment. Covering 16 insightful chapters, the book shares strategies for wealth-building, goal-setting, and finding a sense of purpose. The book’s impact in Uganda has been profound, winning the Book of the Year award in Business Motivation in 2018. Dr. Kiggundu’s hope is that Namibian youth will find inspiration in these pages, just as countless Ugandans have.
Bringing Knowledge Closer: Making Books Accessible
Recognizing the importance of accessibility, Dr. Kiggundu translated his books into Luganda, one of Uganda’s most spoken languages, to make his ideas available to a larger audience. This dedication to sharing knowledge extends to the national level, where the Uganda Ministry of Education and Sports has recognized his books as valuable educational tools. Through the National Curriculum Development Center (NCDC), his works have been recommended for inclusion in secondary schools and institutions of higher learning, promoting critical thinking and investment among students.
A Legacy of Empowerment
This recent donation to Namibia is just one chapter in Dr. Kiggundu’s larger journey of giving back. Since 2018, he has donated nearly a million copies of his books across Uganda, reaching schools, libraries, and communities with messages of self-reliance and empowerment. His work has laid the foundation for a generation of young thinkers and leaders ready to take on the future.
