The Epitome of a Legacy

Our story began at the 2020 Afrika Kwetu Trek; a walk that was organized to trace the footsteps of the National Resistance Army (NRA) in the Luwero Triangle. Upon conclusion, children of the living and deceased NRA fighters that were able to trek with the President for a period of ten (10) days founded MZM organization with the guidance of Maj, Gen. Sam Kavuma and Brig, Moses Rwakitarate.

With the main aim of preserving the NRA/ UPDF legacy, MZM has open membership and admits all interested sons and daughters of living and fallen soldiers of the NRA & UPDF, and ideologically oriented well-wishers recommended by the founders.

Core Objectives

To engage in socioeconomic and business activities for the benefit of the members.
To generate opportunities and create wealth through the socioeconomic dimension.
To cooperate and build strategic partnerships with all government institutions and agencies in a bid to create windows of opportunity resource mobilization and mentorship.

The Afrika Kwetu Trek was the maiden activity for MZM, it was at this walk in the Luwero triangle that the idea to form MZM was birthed. Different categories of people participated in this walk, including; children of living and fallen NRA heroes who were represented by over 10 participants.

MZM also held a series of developmental meetings with the Minister of ICT and Former NITA ED in regard to development of the ‘Covid Tracer’ application. The organization partnering with Defining Technologies Limited managed to get certified by NITA-U.

Meetings: MZM has held a series of meetings across two components; that is the Steering Committee and General group meetings. The steering committee has held over five (05) planning meetings and a two day retreat, all geared towards the formation of the association registration, strategic planning, development and mobilization. MZM has also held two general meetings, the first being on 20/01/2020 and the second one held on 29/02/2020. Attendance has grown per the last meeting, thanks to the team overseeing the group’s activities.

Membership currently stands at 256 members, and of these 114 have fully paid the membership fee of 25,000UGX, with the possibility of growing once the structures are conclusively set up. The factor of having a regionally balanced and effective association is top of the agenda
