Masaka is a large town in the central region of Uganda. It is located to the west of Lake Victoria. The town was largely destroyed during the Uganda – Tanzania war in 1979 and later in the 1981 – 1986 civil war that led to the overthrow of Milton Obote from power. It is estimated to have a population of 103,829 according the 2014 census report.
The 2018 the Impact Week Masaka hosted by the Uganda Martyrs University, Masaka Campus, with the support of Lufthansa and four Kenyan design thinking coaches. It attracted young residents from Masaka and mainly university students and professors.

The quality and neatness of prototypes in Uganda surprised us all! The teams put a lot of focus on prototyping and we believe the largest prototype ever was featured in Masaka.
The Impact Week Masaka was the fourth independently organised Impact Week. The success of the Impact Week Masaka can be attributed to the team spirit of our four Kenyan junior coaches and one junior coach trained in Nigeria. They organised this event individually because they believe in its power to create positive changes in their society.
