Rostwa Cultural Day 2025.

Rostwa Cultural Day 2025: Honoring Uganda at 63

On October 8th, 2025, Rostwa Engineers held its Rostwa Cultural Day, an annual celebration organized in recognition of Uganda’s Independence Anniversary. The event brought together staff to appreciate the beauty of Uganda’s cultural diversity while reflecting on the nation’s journey of growth and unity.

The day carried a bright and cheerful atmosphere across the office. Team members came dressed in different cultural outfits, adding color and energy to the workplace. Light cultural music played throughout the day, creating a relaxed environment as staff carried out their duties.

During lunch, everyone enjoyed a selection of traditional Ugandan dishes that highlighted the country’s rich food culture. It was a refreshing and enjoyable moment shared as one team.

The celebrations continued into the evening with a cultural dinner and get-together. The session featured traditional dances, music, and storytelling that showcased Uganda’s heritage. It was a moment of connection, joy, and appreciation for the diverse traditions that make Uganda special.

Beyond the festivities, the day reminded us of the importance of unity, respect, and cultural pride — values that continue to define both our nation and our company. At Rostwa Engineers, we believe that diversity strengthens teamwork and that shared experiences build stronger relationships within our workplace.

Rostwa Cultural Day 2025 was not only a tribute to Uganda at 63 but also a celebration of who we are as a company united in purpose, proud of our roots, and committed to building a better tomorrow

Lamwon Kindergaten School – Adilang.

On Friday, 2nd May 2025, Rostwa Engineers carried out a Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative at Dongo Paco KG School, located in Lamwon, Adilang Town Council. The initiative reflected the organization’s continued dedication to uplifting the communities in which it operates through purposeful and responsible engagement.

The day commenced with a range of hands-on improvement activities at the school. The Rostwa team collaborated to enhance the school’s environment by levelling the ground, setting up walkways, improving access to classroom and staffroom entrances, installing children’s play stations, and collecting and safely burning accumulated waste around the premises. These efforts were aimed at creating a safer and more engaging learning space for the young learners.
In a creative display of sustainable engineering, the team designed and installed classroom shutters constructed from recycled soda bottles and wooden frames, an innovative approach to functional reuse that combines environmental responsibility with practicality.
The team also spent time engaging with the children through interactive play, fostering a sense of joy and community connection.


The day concluded with a friendly football match between Rostwa Engineers staff and members of the Dongo Paco Foundation Ltd (DPFL). The match, played at the AVTI school pitch, brought together staff and community members in a moment of shared enjoyment.
This CSR activity is one of many steps Rostwa Engineers is taking to integrate community engagement into its broader vision. By applying practical engineering solutions beyond construction sites into local communities, the organization continues to demonstrate its dedication to improving the quality of life in the regions it serves.

Celebrating 5 Years of Dedication

As the sun was shining brightly, lesser noise away from Kampala city, I laid down on my bed reflecting about how to navigate through life, suddenly my phone rang at 2:16pm on the 7th September, 2019 from the other side a soft feminine voice was so clear and loud about how I had been granted an opportunity to work as an Administrator with Rostwa Engineers!  that’s how the journey began.

Ms Atim Juliet in office during The Rostwa Cultural Day 2023

As I reflect on the past five years at Rostwa Engineers, I am filled with immense pride and gratitude. Reaching this milestone as an administrator has been a rewarding experience, filled with growth, challenges, and countless learning opportunities. What started as a fresh chapter in my career has evolved into a journey of self-discovery, teamwork, and professional development.

Rostwa Engineers has always been more than just a workplace. From day one, I was welcomed into an environment that fosters collaboration, innovation, and mutual respect. Over the years, I have witnessed firsthand the passion and dedication each member of this organization brings to their work, and it has been inspiring.

As an administrator, I’ve had the privilege of supporting the company’s operations from behind the scenes. Managing day-to-day tasks, coordinating with various departments, and ensuring the smooth flow of information within the organization has allowed me to self-discover my potential in different aspects of work.

Like any journey, the past five years have not been without challenges. Navigating the complexities of project timelines, resource management, and shifting priorities tested my organizational skills and adaptability. However, these challenges only strengthened my problem-solving abilities and taught me the value of resilience. Rostwa Engineers has always been supportive of employee development and providing opportunities for training that have not only enriched my skills but also made me a more confident and competent administrator.

As I celebrate this 5-year milestone, I look forward to continuing this incredible journey with Rostwa Engineers. The future holds exciting projects and new challenges, and I am eager to contribute to the company’s continued success.

After Rostwa Engineers having active Construction and Project planning for Adilang Vocational Training Institute Agago for a period of 2 years and more, Administration thought of how best to give back to the Institute since it’s an annual norm to have at least one corporate social responsibility activity hence the birth of Careers day. The reasons behind the day was for the students to have first-hand information from people already actively engaged in the field of the various courses they are pursuing.

Retreat and Anniversary Celebrations 2024

Celebrating 15 Years of Excellence

At Rostwa Engineers Ltd., we recently gathered for a momentous company retreat and anniversary celebration, marking our 15th year of “Engineering a Legacy.” This event was a perfect blend of reflection, strategic planning, and celebration, held in the scenic Fort Portal, Western Uganda.

 Reflecting on Our Journey

Toro Kingdom Palace

The retreat provided us with a valuable opportunity to look back on our achievements and milestones. From pioneering engineering solutions to building lasting relationships with our clients, we have grown and evolved in ways we could have only imagined when we started 15 years ago. This growth is a testament to the hard work, dedication, and innovative spirit of our entire team.

 Engineering a Legacy: Strategic Planning for Year 15: The highlight of our retreat was our strategic planning sessions, where each department collaborated to set clear, ambitious goals for the upcoming year. This year, under the theme “Engineering a Legacy,” the Jupita team revised and polished our company philosophy, including our mission, vision, and core values. Each department then developed their own mission for Rostwa Year 15, encapsulated in their Wildly Important Goals (WIGs) and detailed action plans (Leads).

Departmental Missions and Action Plans: Each department at Rostwa Engineers Ltd. held its own retreat session to develop a mission and action plan for Year 15. Here are the highlights from each department’s session:

Administration Department: Led by Ms. Atim Juliet, the Administration team focused on enhancing internal communication and streamlining administrative processes to support overall company efficiency.

Finance Department: Under the leadership of Mrs. Berna Otto, the Finance team is dedicated to improving financial transparency and optimizing budget allocation.

Technical Team: Under the leadership of Eng. Emmanuel Obwor, the Technical team is dedicated to driving innovation through external collaboration, maximizing available engineering solutions, and enhancing customer satisfaction.

 A Celebration to Remember: In addition to our strategic sessions, we celebrated our 15th anniversary with team-building activities and a memorable Rostwa dinner, where we enjoyed a special cake-cutting ceremony to mark our 15 years of excellence. Our celebration took place at Kalitusi Lodges in Fort Portal City, providing a beautiful and inspiring setting for our events. We also explored the rich tourism sites of the western belt, including visits to the Semuliki Hot Springs, Kyaninga Lodges, Fort Portal City, the Toro Kingdom Palace, Kazinga Channel, Queen Elizabeth National Park, and the Equator. These experiences not only strengthened our team bonds but also allowed us to appreciate the beauty and culture of Uganda.

 Looking Ahead

As we embark on our 15th year, we are more committed than ever to living up to our theme, “Engineering a Legacy.” With a clear strategic plan and a motivated team, we are poised to achieve new heights and continue delivering unparalleled engineering solutions to our clients.

We extend our heartfelt thanks to everyone who has been part of our journey so far. Here’s to another year of Engineering A Legacy at Rostwa Engineers Ltd.

From Humble Beginnings to Building Dreams: 15 Years of Rostwa Engineers

Introduction:

The story of Rostwa Engineers isn’t your typical tale of corporate giants. Ours began in a single room, not in a gleaming high-rise, but in Kitgum Town, Uganda, back in December 2008. Fueled by ambition and a shared vision, two friends, Eng. Obwor Emmanuel and Mwaka Isaac Phillip, dreamt of using their engineering expertise to make a real difference.

From St. Joseph’s Hospital to Rostwa Engineers Limited:

Their journey began at St. Joseph’s Hospital. As their contracts there neared completion, the spark of entrepreneurship ignited. Rostwa (derived from Roads, Structures, Water) was born – a name symbolizing the foundation they envisioned for Uganda’s future.

A Decade of Growth and Milestones (2009-2019):

The early years were a testament to hard work and resilience. Under the leadership of Mr. Onen John Norbert from 2009 to 2016, Rostwa steadily grew its portfolio. In 2017, with Eng. Obwor taking the helm, the company relocated its headquarters to Entebbe, laying the groundwork for further expansion.

The year 2019 marked a significant milestone – a decade of successful projects and a team brimming with pride. As they celebrated at their Entebbe offices, a new vision emerged – the dream of a permanent home for Rostwa.

Building the Future, Brick by Brick (2019-2024):

Dreams have a way of turning into reality. In 2022, Rostwa Engineers proudly opened its main offices in Mpala, Entebbe. This new space symbolizes not just growth, but a commitment to the future.

15 Years and Beyond: The Legacy Continues

From a single room in Kitgum to a thriving engineering firm, Rostwa’s journey is a testament to the power of friendship, dedication, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Today, as we celebrate 15 years, we look back with immense pride at the schools, hospitals, and vital infrastructure projects that stand as testaments to our work.

But our story isn’t over. We are filled with excitement as we look towards the next chapter. With a commitment to sustainable practices, innovative solutions, and a passion for building a brighter East Africa, Rostwa Engineers is poised to make a lasting impact for years to come.
