State-of-the-Art Facilities: Where Innovation Meets Opportunity

To ensure accessibility, the institute proudly operates a 30-seater bus, provided by the government, ensuring convenient transportation for our students.

As part of our ongoing phase two project, we prioritize enhancing staff capacity through continuous training and professional development programs.
Overcoming Challenges, Embracing Solutions
While Sasiira Technical Institute has made significant strides, we acknowledge the challenge of low student intake, particularly from the host district of Nakasongola. Currently, our institution hosts 150 students, with less than 40% hailing from the local area.
To address this challenge, we have implemented the following strategies:
- Awareness Campaigns:
We collaborate closely with district leaders, religious institutions, and the Buruuli chiefdom to raise awareness about our institute and its offerings. By engaging local communities, we aim to increase enrollment and attract more students from Nakasongola.
- Alumni Ambassadors:
Our graduates employed at Luwero Industries serve as ambassadors, sharing their success stories and encouraging prospective students to join Sasiira, paving the way for promising careers.
