Our History against which the Sunni Muslim Study Centre is Proposed
According to the facts on the ground, Muslims in the West Nile and Northern Uganda regions lag behind in infrastructural development, especially in the areas of education, health, and agriculture. They have poor institutions with low or poor service delivery, and these institutions are established on small piece of lands.
West Nile is grappling with malnutrition, poverty, and diseases that affect the health and productive ability of the people. Some diseases necessitate referrals abroad or to hospitals in the capital city, Kampala.
The entire West Nile region, Democratic Republic of Congo and South Sudan lack a first-world-class hospital, and the need for one is paramount. This hospital should have multi-specialty capabilities, medical experts, and the latest Medical Hi-Tech.
Essentially, the people of South Sudan and the Democratic Republic of Congo depend on Uganda for better education and healthcare services.
Uganda’s Education system, traditional schools are founded by the churches, save a few in southern Uganda which is over 700 kilometers from Yumbe District in the west Nile region a district which is over 75% Muslim and the biggest number of Muslims that spread over in the whole of the greater northern Uganda originate from Yumbe district.
The current Lodonga Islamic Study Centre was founded in 1989 and registered in 1991 as revolutionary Islamic propagation then later Islamic cultural heritage and owned land over Half a Square Mile in 1991 making the Centre the biggest Muslim landlord in the whole of greater Northern Uganda if not the whole of Uganda.
