The Nnaabagereka initiated programs that re-invigorate our centuries-old values of integrity, civility, empathy, respect, humility and hard work, among others, in children. She embarked on the girl-child and women projects intended to empower them, within our cultural frameworks, in order for them to be exposed to and exploit the abundant oppourtunities, respectively. I hope those who read her autobiography will find useful lessons for the family, community and in the different spheres where her work and role have been impactful in the Kingdom, in Uganda, and on the African continent. - Katikiro Charles Peter Mayiga, The Prime Minister of the Buganda Kingdom

I value so much the witness that the Nnaabagereka shares with me in her care for the less fortunate. I am blessed to share the ethos and Ubuntu with Queen Sylvia. She will always be close to Hospice and Palliative Care.- Prof. Dr Anne Merriman MBE, Founder, Hospice Africa
UNFPA commends HRH's investment in preserving cultural heritage and promoting positive lifestyles, especially among young people.- Janet Jackson, United Nations Fund for Population Activities (UNFPA)
