With a wealth of experience in leadership roles, Winnie has served as the Ghetto Go Green Community Project Coordinator in Mbuya 2 Kunya Zone and held secretary positions in various youth advocacy structures. Her commitment to environmental conservation and climate action has earned her recognition as the Chairperson of the Buganda Youth Council (Mbuya 1 & 2) and Environment Coordinator of the Diocese of Kampala Youth Council.
