Finance

Banking & Finance

The story of Sembule Steel Mills Ltd feeds into the story of Sembule Investment Finance. The former is the continuation of the latter. Sembule Investment Finance → Sembule Commercial Bank → Bank of Africa. A bank founded and started by an African man, established to offer services for the people of Uganda and East Africa.

PAN WORLD INSURANCE COMPANY (U) LTD. The birth of Pan World Insurance Company Ltd is almost the same story as Sembule Investment Finance Ltd — like giving birth to twins, one comes first and the other a few hours later.

Education

Education

The education program is derived from the practices of Christopher Columbus Sembuya. The foundation emulates these practices to build Sembuya's legacy for the generations to come. C. Sembuya read extensively in his life — every morning at his home he started with newspapers (Bukedde and New Vision) and shared what interested him in the news with other people.
