The Clan Challenges

The Baise Kisuuyi/Baleemo Clan is one of the most civilised and educated clans in Busoga Howevwer, it’s paralyxed by a number of challenges which include:

1.  Lack of Unity .

2. Lack of finances to run clan business

3. Cross generation divide

Antidote to these Clan Challenges

One of the best options to mitigate the above-mentioned challenges is to conduct routine fellowships and make sure we recover the love for our cultural heritage. Initiate 4 Sustainable Living will help a lot to implement this

 

One of the greatest Baise Kisuuyi/Baleemo Clan Come Together Meetings held at Dawn Prime Academy Iwawu , Iganga – on the 23rd January 2025.  Over 100 members from all walks of life attended from central and eastern Uganda,

We look forward to having more of this kind atlest twice a year.
