  ## History
  
  In 1990, Anatoli Kamugisha founded his first company Kanoblic Group Limited, a real estate construction business. He borrowed money from friends to register his business. He won construction contracts from several reputable firms, including Sugar Corporation of Uganda Limited and the Norwegian Forestry Society. In 1999, he closed down Kanoblic and started Akright Projects Limited, a company that plans, designs, and constructs organized residential communities (satellite cities) in or near urban centers in Uganda, as an alternative to the mushrooming slum problem in Uganda's cities and towns. The shares of stock of Akright are owned by Kamugisha and members of his family. The majority of senior managers in the company are also family members.
