The Head of the State House Investors Protection Unit (SHIPU), Col. Edith Nakalema, has launched a book titled My Father and I: The Power of Intentional Fatherhood, celebrating the life and legacy of her late father, Rev. Eliasaph Sserwadda.
The book was unveiled at Protea Hotel Kampala during a ceremony presided over by Vice President Jessica Alupo, who praised Nakalema for honouring her father's lifelong service to the Church and community.
Rev. Sserwadda, who passed away in 2025, served as an Anglican lay reader for 53 years before becoming a priest. Nakalema described him as a loving father who raised five university graduates through hard work, faith and discipline despite having modest means.
She said proceeds from the book will help complete All Saints Church, Kanyeganyegye, which is being built in his memory. Vice President Alupo also announced President Yoweri Museveni's contribution of Shs20 million towards the church's construction.

Religious leaders at the event, including former Archbishop Henry Luke Orombi and Archbishop Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, urged parents to invest in their children's lives, saying a good legacy is built through love, faith and intentional parenting.
The launch attracted senior government officials, religious leaders, diplomats and other distinguished guests.
