How Godwin T. went from Kasese to becoming a Software Engineer at Ford Motor Company and Chairman of the Bakonzo Community in the US.
Growing up in the foothills of the Rwenzori Mountains, Godwin's passion for problem-solving led him to pursue computer science. After excelling at university, he earned an opportunity with Ford Motor Company, becoming not just a top engineer, but a cultural beacon for Bakonzo youth in the diaspora. Today, he balances code and community — leading initiatives for cultural preservation, mentorship, and digital innovation.
See what happened at our recent meet-up in Washington. Laughter, dance, and new connections all around!
