Brian Kiiza

By maya zwang on July 5, 2017

Brian’s academic career has been funded by a series of merit based scholarships; his work ethic and academic performance earned him a place at the International School of Uganda. Brian excelled at Chemistry and Mathematics, earning top marks for both these subjects while showing a keen interest in application and innovation. Brian also showed much interest in the realms of debate and public speaking through his involvement with the East Africa Model United Nations. He was chosen to attend a parliament meeting, where he presented a speech on the abhorrent issue of infant sacrifice, a cause for which he has shown passionate activism. Brian was a leader in a tree-planting initiative at his school, as well as a break-dancer and mural artist. Brian’s wish to pursue a degree in Computer Science and Economics is indicative of his desire to provide solutions and motivation for his community. He believes that development is possible through sound leadership, education and resource management. Brian will work to end the poverty cycle in Uganda by implementing strategies for energy conservation, agricultural innovation and sustainability.
