Upon reaching Kampala, Bugingo initially ended up on the streets, but through friends was directed to Ssentongo Godfrey, who offered Bugingo work at his house and a place to stay.

He worked as a House Boy at Ssentongo’s house for a while, before Ssentongo gave him a job making and selling popcorn at Owino market
