James Wanyira

I am a maker. I am a creator. I create memorable learning experiences for the human soul. My skills are speaking, creative writing, and facilitating learning.

I am a fifth born in a family of 6 children. Three girls and three boys. I lost my father when I was 10 years old, leaving us with a single mother who has raised all of us to adults. I was born in Mbale, Eastern Uganda but grew up in Kampala. I dropped out of Makerere University in 2010 after five years of failing to graduate. With no hope of getting a job, due to a lack of academic documents, I resorted to volunteer work and developing my personal skills and experience. I volunteered as a leadership trainer in a community church for seven years. I was drawn to community psychology, self-help, and social entrepreneurship. I later got a job with Educate! Uganda as a Program Coordinator for experiential learning in schools. I gave formal education another try and I recently attained a Bachelors’s degree in Development Studies at Uganda Christian University.

SINA is a channel, a conduit, a medium through which I express my purpose to unlock and release human potential. It has availed me many opportunities and connected me to wonderful people who have helped me bring my dream to life. I am passionate to help people find and create meaningful work that solves real world problems while bringing them joy and fulfillment in the process. SINA has helped me find my niche in the world and make a unique contribution towards advancing the human condition. For this, I am forever grateful.
