Jacqueline Asiimwe

“There is something in me that stirred whenever there was injustice”

“For Asiimwe, giving in Africa has been a culture that will never fade off. From the time of our forefathers who carried a calabash full of local brew to visit their friends, to our mothers who made us carry baskets of food while visiting relatives, we have learned that a hand that giveth is the same hand that receiveth.”

“The area we have chosen is giving, but giving is so multifaceted. Because as the conversation has to change among Africans, it also has to change in the West.”

“Count means that every giving counts, you don’t have to be a billionaire, everything you give counts.”

“One of the things that have happened over the last decade or so with social media is that it has democratized storytelling, because we used to have one medium i.e. the press, but now anyone can tell a story.”
