On this day in 2012, Mawlana Hazar Imam inaugurated the Bujagali Hydropower Project. We look back on the story of the Bujagali Hydropower Project, starting with its foundation ceremony during Mawlana Hazar Imam's Golden Jubilee and seeing it through the years until it's the inauguration. We also take a quick look at the impact of Bujagali and other AKDN projects over the years in Uganda.
On 11 July 2007, Mawlana Hazar Imam completed 50 years as Imam (spiritual leader) of the Ismailis. Fifty years ago, at the age of 20, he succeeded his grandfather, Mawlana Sultan Mahomed Shah, as the 49th hereditary Imam of the Shia Imami Ismaili Muslims. As part of the commemoration of Mawlana Hazar Imam’s Golden Jubilee, Hazar Imam made official visits to countries around the world. In addition to recognising the friendship and longstanding support of leaders of state, government and other partners in the work of the Ismaili Imamat, Mawlana Hazar Imam granted some 26 Golden Jubilee Darbars to the worldwide Jamat. This film, Golden Jubilee Memories, provides an opportunity to relive the memories of those Golden Jubilee visits.
