Our Team 


​Turinawe Samson is a Ugandan humanitarian educator and the founder of ULM, who believes that “Love, inclusivity, compassion, tolerance, dialogue and reconciliation will lead to creating a world that is open to making peace and living together with others. A generation which is reading, thinking and loving human beings, opening up and sharing their knowledge in the service of humanity with the understanding that every human being, whoever the person, should be respected simply for being part of God. 
He condemns gender based violence such as domestic violence, corrective rape, homophobia, child abuse, murder, violence stemming from HIV and AIDS, poverty, disease, corruption, war, discrimination of marginalized people and all forms of exploitation teaching. They are an affront to God’s purpose for our existence as human beings."
