Childhood in Kabale

Nabaasa spent his early life in his hometown of Kabale which he seeks to represent in Parliament. Nabaasa understands the challenges and opportunities Kabale people face every day as semi -resident now and businessman person in Kabale and he is ready to bring fresh, effective leadership to represent the people of Kabale Municipality.

Nabaasa was raised in a loving, middle-class Christian family, where the values of faith, hard work, and community were deeply ingrained. His upbringing was marked by the warmth of a close-knit family, though at some point the family’s fortunes took a significant downturn due to the liberation war that cut off the Western part of the Country for several months while his father was on a business trip to the capital Kampala, which led to the collapse of the thriving family business.

His early life experience exposed him to both the highs and lows of life, teaching him resilience and perseverance. Despite the hardships, the unwavering support and love from his family, particularly his mother, who provided a steady source of strength and comfort, Dan and all his siblings went through school graduating from various Universities and have gone on to lead decent lives. Losing his father at a young age left a void, robbing him of a paternal figure during his formative years. However, his exceptional mother filled that gap with her unwavering determination, wisdom, and care, shaping him into the person he is today. This experience instilled in him a profound sense of responsibility, gratitude, and the importance of strong family bonds, values he continues to carry with him in every aspect of his life.

The Early days of his education

Nabaasa was in Kabale right through Nursery through to high School, and those years hold some of his fondest memories. He attended the then TTC Nursery and then to the one that was simply known as Kindergaten before joining Kabale Primary School (Demo) then Kigezi High School Primary (Lower) for a few years, then back to Demo. From Demo, joined Kigezi High School for both O’ and A’ Level, then on to Makerere University.

The simplicity of life back then, filled with both the joys and challenges the country faced, shaped his deep connection to Kabale. Nabaasa says It was a community where everyone knew everyone, and a child was truly “a child of the village.” This close-knit environment instilled in him a sense of belonging and responsibility, fostering a strong desire to contribute to making it a better place. Despite the ups and downs, the spirit of unity and resilience within his hometown left an indelible mark on him.

Leaving for university was a big step, but attachment to his roots only grew stronger. Watching his town’s transition over the years slowly evolving into a city has been a source of pride and excitement.
Nabaasa feels privileged to witness this transformation and motivated to play a part in its continued growth and development.
