Leadership in Action: From Research to Rural Impact

At U-RISE, service is more than a value—it’s a way of life. When our founder, Dr. Joakin Mori, isn’t immersed in cutting-edge research on the drivers of adverse cancer outcomes, he’s on the ground with the community he serves. Captured here in our Pakwinya Village office, Dr. Mori is seen balancing office work with hands-on leadership—coordinating projects and even helping construct a goat house to support local livelihoods.

His commitment reflects the spirit of U-RISE: bridging global knowledge with grassroots action to drive sustainability, education, and empowerment across Northern Uganda. This is the heart of our story—a story built not in boardrooms, but in villages, fields, and everyday acts of service.
