Upon his graduation from Makerere University in 2016, Tonny Abet at 24 years of age concieved Aton Wellness. Tonny was that bright boy from a very poor family who drew the attention of a local charity organization, Lango Development Forum, the organization that paid him in his studies. With his live experience being supported by local people, Tonny was convinced Africa has a great potential which when well coordinated can yield unmatched global impact. And the rural farmers were at the center stage to him.
