comm-UNITY! | Season 14 | Episode 2 | Beyond the Gift!

What if giving wasn’t just about money? What if generosity looked like mentorship, knowledge-sharing, advocacy, or simply showing up? In Episode 2, Season 14 of the comm-UNITY! Podcast, we’re unpacking the power of giving beyond the obvious, because generosity isn’t just an act, it’s a mindset.

We often hesitate to call ourselves givers, as if time, skills, and care don’t count as much as financial donations. But the truth is, giving comes in many forms, and it’s often the things we share freely that create the biggest impact. What if generosity was less about what we give away and more about what we build?

In a world that moves fast, where self-interest is often celebrated, choosing to give—whether it’s through mentorship, knowledge, or simply standing beside someone, is an act of defiance and hope. It’s saying, “I see you. I believe in you. Let’s build something together.”

Meet the changemakers redefining generosity:

Ahumuza Ronah: Executive Director, ⁠Holistic Actions for Development and Empowerment (HADE).⁠ She is using mentorship as a tool for revolution, empowering young women in Ghetto communities to rise as leaders in gender equality, climate action, and urban development.

Mary Helda Akongo: Program Lead, Fundi Girls at ⁠Fundi Bots⁠. She’s breaking barriers in STEM, ensuring that girls across Uganda and Kenya don’t just dream of the future, they build it.

Nambooze Angella: Head of the Support Team, ⁠Raremark Foundation⁠. As a sickle cell warrior herself, she is turning personal battles into advocacy, proving that giving time and voice can change lives.

Society might see generosity as self-promotion, but let’s be honest, sharing acts of giving inspires others to do the same. We’ve all been shaped by someone else’s generosity, whether it was a mentor, a friend, or a stranger who believed in us. What if your generosity could be the spark for someone else?

Think about the last time someone gave you an opportunity, believed in you, or made your journey easier. What if giving wasn’t just about charity, but about paving the way for someone else to rise?

Let’s talk about giving that goes beyond the gift, giving that transforms, uplifts, and leaves a legacy.
