Why Integrated?
BBN Integrated endeavors to provide an education in which students' potential is promoted in the best possible way. BBN Integrated will draw from the motivation for children and young people to learn and stay in the learning environment; - curiosity - the desire to discover new knowledge.
Children and young people are curious and this will provide opportunities to engage them into learning. BBN Integrated draws from John Dewey's theory of learning where he emphasizes that education is a necessity of life. it is a natural requirement for one to pursue happiness that can change and transform a person to a more useful resource through attaining skills that can enhance a person to a more useful resource especially through attaining skills that can enhance problem solving. It will be a window to leave a lasting legacy by empowering the youth and up lifting the community through in personal empowerment; offering students and communities a strong foundation that can open doors to better opportunities.
Relatedly, the BBN Integrated is motivated towards provision of high quality healthcare which commendable to optimize healthcare for both the rural and urban communities. The BBN Integrated is striving towards the provision of a fully functional health facility at the Heart of Uganda to support families in the region [covering the districts of Luwero Triangle]. The facility will support to strengthen and consolidate government initiatives to improve the wellbeing of families especially children and women who suffer most the effects of poor health services in communities.
The company will operate in Central Uganda - Nakasongola District. Nakasongola is 116km north of Kampala, Gulu Highway, and located in the center of Uganda. This makes it easy for learners, patients and other people that might need the services to access them. Nakasongola is particularly significant for the activities of BBN because Nakasongola is one of the two cities that will play a critical role in the project to relieve the burden on the capital Kampala by decentralizing administrative and economic activities.
Why investment in Education and Health?
Uganda's health care system consists of both public and private health care providers. We have about 9,840 health facilities, of which 45% are government - owned, 15% are private not profit and 40% are private for profit. In Uganda, the health worker population ratio is about 1.87 per 1000 population, which is still lower than the WHO ration of 2.5 per 1000 population 1,000 population, (Medard Turyamureba et al., 2023). BBN Integrated Company will support the Government’s mandate of provide health care nearer to the communities.
Uganda, just like most of the low income countries (LIC), has the highest number of young population in the world, this coupled with high levels of illiteracy and poor health affects National Development, accelerating the intergenerational cycle of poverty and disease. This hinders individuals from reaching their full potential. Developing and maximizing the complex learning environment and experiences and as well improving the health care system provide a huge opportunity to grow the capacity of human capital for lifetime excellence.
