Growing up, Nakambale arranged her mother’s flower pots and rocks like students, teaching them as if in a classroom. This passion led her to a career in teaching that she deeply loves, inspired by her aunt, a dedicated nun and teacher. Despite her nurse mother's encouragement to pursue nursing, Nakambale was drawn to teaching, earning a degree from Kwame Nkrumah University and returning to teach at her alma mater, Lwitikila Girls Secondary School. Seeking new challenges, she moved to Konkola Copper Mines Trust School, where she embraced the transformative 1 Million Teachers Black Belt program, which reshaped her teaching methods and professional growth.

"I love being a teacher and helping my students achieve their dreams. That’s my greatest aspiration," says Nakambale, a grade 4 teacher and proud 1MT Black Belt.

Initially resistant to the idea of becoming a teacher, my journey took an unexpected turn from studying Biochemistry to entering the classroom due to a lack of job opportunities after my service year. Despite lacking formal training, I accumulated over five years of teaching experience before pursuing a Professional Diploma in Education, driven by a desire to become an exceptional educator and mentor. The turning point came when I discovered the 1Million Teachers online training platform in September 2021. The self-paced courses, obtained at no cost, proved both interesting and applicable, enhancing my teaching and leadership skills.
