In this episode Jacqueline Asiimwe sits down with Denis Wembi, a youth leader involved in many initiatives, including the "Goal Next Generation" fellowship. Wembi reflects on the role generosity has played in shaping his life. He recalls how his father’s actions; always bringing him children’s books, not only sparked his lifelong love for reading but were also his first contact with pure generosity. He also shares a story from early 2024 when two women on a train asked him for help with their luggage.

This small favor led to an unexpected return; the women covered his entire journey to Diani, Kenya, a destination he’d never visited. To Wembi, it was the best thing that happened to him that year, proving how even the smallest act of kindness can have a far reaching impact.

Wembi mentions that as he works with young people, he witnesses generosity in action every day. He recalls how a friend who once helped pay his school fees was a gesture that left a lasting impression on him and praises how young people are proactive in sharing resources to support each other’s dreams.

For Wembi, generosity isn't just about grand gestures; it's the little things: like giving a pair of trousers or a handkerchief to someone who needs it that count. He believes in the principle that the more you give, the more it comes back and that the true purpose of giving is to uplift others. Wembi also shares his dream of creating a resource center to provide young people with access to literature; seeing knowledge as a powerful tool for empowerment.

He truly believes that even the smallest acts of generosity can make a big difference in people's lives.
