Key facts
- H.E Micah is the professional name of filmmaker Brandon Kabonge (per pulse.ug).

The brief
Ugandan video director H.E Micah, who is also known as Brandon Kabonge, has established Ability Charitable Ministry to support children with disabilities and promote their inclusion in Ugandan society, Pulse Uganda reported.
According to the Pulse account, Kabonge framed the initiative around improving access to education, healthcare and social inclusion while working to remove stigma that limits opportunities for children with disabilities.
Pulse Uganda says Kabonge, who was born on November 12, 2004 at Mulago hospital in Kampala, is a 21-year-old filmmaker active in music-video production, cinematography and digital marketing.
The article describes him balancing a developing career in visual storytelling — including video direction, editing and colour grading — with what it calls a commitment to social responsibility through the new charity.
The outlet reports that Kabonge chose the professional name H.E Micah for his work in the entertainment sector and that he plans to leverage that public profile to raise awareness of disability rights.
Pulse quotes him describing an intent to fight stigma and to build partnerships that can support children with disabilities and their families, using his skills in digital marketing to amplify the cause. Pulse Uganda states that Ability Charitable Ministry will focus on promoting access to specific services and opportunities: education, healthcare and social inclusion.
The article frames those goals as central to the charity’s mission but does not list concrete programmes, funding sources or immediate projects tied to the launch. The piece provides biographical detail about Kabonge’s background in film and content creation, presenting his entertainment work and his social initiative as parts of a single trajectory.
Pulse Uganda published its story on October 12, 2026, reporting Kabonge’s stated aims and personal profile as the basis for the charity announcement.
A headline from The Hindu also referenced an AI platform launched to support children with disabilities, which corroborates that outlets covered initiatives aimed at aiding children with disabilities, though The Hindu’s headline does not supply further detail in this pack.
Beyond the biographical and mission statements attributed to Kabonge in Pulse Uganda’s article, no figures for beneficiaries, budgets, partners or a timetable for activities are provided.
Why it matters
- Children with disabilities in Uganda stand to be direct beneficiaries of Ability Charitable Ministry’s stated focus on education, healthcare and social inclusion, according to Pulse Uganda’s account of Kabonge’s aims.
- Kabonge’s professional profile in music-video production and digital marketing is the documented mechanism he intends to use to raise awareness and fight stigma, per Pulse Uganda.
- Pulse Uganda names no funding sources or partners, so the immediate scale of services that Ability Charitable Ministry can deliver is unspecified in the reporting.
What to watch next
- Whether Ability Charitable Ministry publishes specific programmes, beneficiary targets or partner organisations in follow-up statements announced by H.E Micah or the charity.
- Whether Pulse Uganda or the charity provides details of funding or budgets for Ability Charitable Ministry.
- Whether Kabonge (H.E Micah) outlines timelines or locations in Uganda where the ministry will operate.

How we got here
Uganda’s immediate legal backdrop for disability work is the Persons with Disabilities Act, enacted in 2006, which established statutory rights and institutional duties for service provision. The same year, the Government of Uganda issued the National Policy on Disability (2006) to guide inclusive education and healthcare planning.
Those domestic instruments sit atop the UN Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, adopted by the UN General Assembly on 13 December 2006 and ratified by Uganda in 2008. Access-to-education frameworks relevant to children with disabilities build on Uganda’s Universal Primary Education policy launched in 1997.
