about the long-term impact—you just follow what feels right. When we were approached to support a poultry project at a Remand Home, backed by the Rotary Club of Upper Kololo, it felt natural. We already buy chicken regularly, so why not support a meaningful cause in the process? What began as a simple promise to buy birds has evolved into something far more fulfilling. We pledged to buy every mature bird— regardless of market demand—and we’ve kept that promise. Even when customers aren’t immediately available, we find a way, often integrating the orders into our broader supply chain or tapping into our wider network. This partnership has positively impacted both the boys at the Remand Home and our business. It’s deepened our social responsibility and even brought us new opportunities—like a recent conference booking inspired by our involvement. Doing good truly comes full circle.

PK: Thank you, MD Adrine, for your time, generosity, and the inspiring insights you shared in our first Golden Wagon Magazine. We are truly grateful. Adrine Kobusingye: Thank you. Upper Kololo can always count on my support—now and always.
the possibilities that lie ahead? Adrine Kobusingye: I love that question—and interestingly, my day started with a similar moment. As I was leaving home, a young girl staying with me said, “Aunty, you look so smart.” I smiled and replied, “Yes, I have an interview today.” Then I paused and asked her to walk with me. She comes from a humble background— bright but burdened. The night before, she had opened up about her life, and I saw so much of myself in her. I’ve known poverty, pain, and heartbreak— but I never let them define me. I always tell young girls: your background doesn’t determine your
