At Enabel, we firmly believe that our people are the driving force behind every success, every milestone, and every impact we create. Last week, laughter filled the corridors, handwritten notes of gratitude exchanged hands, while colleagues recognised one another during our much-anticipated Appreciation Week. 

Colleagues shared uplifting comments like, "Thank you for always coming to work with a smile, it’s contagious" and "You have an amazing ability to make everyone smile no matter the situation." These simple yet powerful words reminded us of the importance of recognizing and valuing one another-not just for the work we do, but for the unique energy and spirit we bring to the team. 

For Peter Mark Nyanzi, an IT graduate trainee who has been with Enabel for just five months, the Appreciation Week was a transformative experience. "I felt good, happy, and loved. The fact that people see and value you is something I didn’t expect. People are soft and kind. I am happy to be part of this amazing family," he shared. 

Peter was not alone in being moved. Many others like Fred Muyanja, a driver, echoed similar sentiments. "I didn’t know that people appreciate the work I do. I am more motivated to do my job now and glad I received wonderful messages." For Fred, the week was a rare and meaningful moment of recognition that left a lasting impact. 

Rose Kato, the Enabel in Uganda Relations Stewart, summed it up perfectly:  "The week reminded us that even in the busiest of times, taking a moment to acknowledge each other can have a profound impact. The smiles, laughter throughout the week were a testament to the strength of our team spirit and the deep connections we share as colleagues. As we move forward, let’s carry the lessons of Appreciation Week with us. Let’s continue to celebrate each other, uplift one another, and create an environment where everyone feels valued. After all, it’s the people who make Enabel truly exceptional.”  she noted.  

Enabel staff also marked International Women’s Day during the week by honoring and celebrating all the incredible women who are part of the organisation. It was a moment to reflect on the vital contributions of women in driving Enable's mission forward and to recognize their strength, resilience, and dedication.

The celebration was a powerful reminder of the importance of gender equality and the value of creating an inclusive workplace where everyone thrives. Here’s to the incredible team that makes it all happen—thank you for being the heart of Enabel!
