Navio, the renowned rapper otherwise known as Daniel Kigozi off-stage, is set to headline the 2024 Makerere University Run on Sunday, August 18, 2024. He is sure to set the event ablaze with his vibrant hip-hop energy, giving a very lively atmosphere to the participants and attendees alike.
The event will be the 2024 run organized by the Makerere University Endowment Fund. The run will be led by Dr. Maggie Kigozi, who is Navio’s mother. This year’s run seeks to support students with special needs as a way of embracing inclusivity and empowerment within the university community.
The Makerere University Run is for fundraising for the set-up of a Disability Support Unit. This important development will give the university better capacity to support students with special needs at the university through the provision of dedicated facilities, resources, and services tailored to their requirements. This move underlines that Makerere University will provide an inclusive learning environment wherein every student is allowed a clear path to thrive.
At a July press briefing, Dr. Maggie Kigozi emphasized the importance of the new unit: “As such, by constructing this Disability Support Unit, we intend to avail adequate facilities, support services, and accommodations that will allow these students to thrive. This unit represents our aspirations of inclusivity, a place where all students can feel valued, supported, and empowered to achieve their full potential,” she explained.
The theme of the Makerere Run 2024 is: Running for Students with Disabilities. This theme serves the event’s purpose and better still addresses inclusivity on campus.
Involvement by Navio will most likely attract a lot of attention and participation, making this event more successful and raising increased support for the cause. The rapper’s performance will be one of the major highlights of the day, underlining not just his musical talents but the spirit of community and support that the run represents.
This run calls for participants and supporters who can support such a noble cause and create a meaningful impact on students with special needs. All funds raised will go directly to the creation of a conducive and empowering environment in the pursuit of making sure that all students have equal opportunities to make it through.
The event details and participation instructions are accessible through the Makerere University Endowment Fund’s website or from the concerned event organizers.
Congratulations go out to the organizers and supporters of this critical initiative.
