Welcome to the Home of MOBA
Every Old Boy of the Hill. One register.
Since 1911, Busoga College Mwiri has sent its boys into the world. The MOBA register is where they find one another again — every class, every house, every teacher, kept.
Free to join. Free to be found. Verified by the men who were there with you.

About
The register the school never kept for us.
You sat in the same classrooms, ate from the same dining hall, ran the same hill and feared the same teachers. Then you scattered — Kampala, Nairobi, London, Dallas — and the only thread left was a WhatsApp group that loses its history every time someone changes phones.
This is the Mwiri Old Boys Association's own register: every Old Boy confirmed by Old Boys who were there, class by class and house by house; the teachers who made us, remembered by name; and the school's memory, kept where it cannot be lost.
- Verified, not open. Every name on the register is confirmed by Old Boys who knew him, or by the MOBA executive. No one is on it because he typed a name.
- Yours, not sold. Your details are used to run the register. We do not sell them, and nothing about you is shown to the public unless you choose it.
- Free to join. Joining the register and being found on it cost nothing.
Eminent Mwirians through time
A century of men who left the Hill and shaped the country.
Written as school record — years on the Hill, house, what came after — under MOBA's editorial hand, neither tribute nor verdict. Move through the decades.

Heritage
Nine houses. Nine names to live up to.
Each house carries a name. Where the record has the namesake, it is here; where it does not, we ask the men who slept in its dormitories.
- BrewerWere you in Brewer? Tell us who he was.
- CoatesWere you in Coates? Tell us who he was.
- HanningtonWere you in Hannington? Tell us who he was.
- NabikambaWere you in Nabikamba? Tell us who he was.

- WakoWere you in Wako? Tell us who he was.
- WillisWere you in Willis? Tell us who he was.

Where a house has a namesake on record it is shown; the rest are still being written. Were you in one of them? Tell us who he was — claim your place first.

Noticeboard
From the MOBA executive.
Official notices only. Class news, birthdays and family notices live inside the register, among the men they concern.
There are no notices from the executive at the moment.
Your class is waiting for one more name.
Two minutes. Your email address, your years on the Hill, your house. Then the men who were there with you confirm it, and you are home.
