My name is Recab Mwesigye, Friends call me “Rey”. Growing up in different stages of life, I got to be familiar with different environments that shaped me till date.

One of the most interesting stages of my life was growing up in the low-income community of “Kamwanyi” a ghetto suburb in Kampala Uganda. I was humbled by the blessings of what this community brought to me, not only by bringing out the best in me but also appreciating the little that we had as a family at the time. Seeing many of my friends get miss-lead in the prime of their youth. This taught me to be different, resilient and acknowledge the fact that it was a struggle we were all going through and the only way we could have better livelihoods was to motivate each other and as a collective prosper together.

As I grew older and travelled the world, I always had it at the back of my mind that my dream was not forgotten but rather was just a matter of time to engage in motivating the young people in this community to work as a collective and strive to greatness.

Thus, Stitching Kyakabi was founded on these strong pillars of a young boy that promised to deliver when the time came.
