The foundation, focused on community development particularly in West Nile and beyond, has spearheaded initiatives in education, health, and empowerment.

This award, presented at the East Africa Brand Quality Awards ceremony on October 17, 2025, acknowledges the organization’s platinum-level excellence in transforming lives and fostering sustainable change.

In a heartfelt statement shared on social media, Feni expressed his gratitude: “We’re deeply honored that MUNGU Feni Foundation has been recognized as the Best Community Transformation Organization in East Africa!
