LACOBA is the alumni association of St. Joseph's College Layibi, a fraternity of old students working together across three cornerstones: School, Members, and Community. Together we are stronger.
"Melius Atque Utilius": Better and More Useful.
Mentorship and career guidance for current students, and direct investment in Layibi College's infrastructure, including a rebuilt main gate.
Savings clubs that help old boys support their own families, plus reunions like the Inter Cohort Sports Gala that keep every generation connected.
A tree planting drive across the Acholi subregion, an annual marathon supporting traditional schools, and partnerships beyond our own gates.
Layibi's old boys include the late Deputy Speaker of Parliament Jacob Oulanyah, High Court judge Anup Singh Choudry, and engineers and doctors working across Uganda today.
Meet Our Old Boys
Layibi College Marathon
Every year, old boys and the wider Gulu community lace up for a marathon with one goal: reawakening the academic performance of traditional schools across the Acholi subregion. It's grown into one of the region's most anticipated community fundraisers.
