Reducing Poverty through Sustainable Development Projects
Dear Downtowner readers, it’s yet another Monday for your piece of good content and information from the Downtowner. I want to thank the Rotary Club of Mukono Central for completing the month of September which is focused on Basic Education and Literacy.
As Rotary clubs, the month help us to focus on strengthening communities’ ability to provide basic education and literacy, reduce gender disparities in education, and increase adult literacy. This year, alongside the Rotaract club of Mukono Central, we provided scholastic materials to 2 schools in Mukono district. We highly believe and hope that the kind donation will improve access to quality education and learning opportunities for children in those schools.
As we start the month of October, designated as Economic and Community Development Month by Rotary International. We Rotarians, are encouraged to focus our effort and service projects on improving economic opportunities and community well-being, aiming to reduce poverty and support sustainable development in our communities.
The Rotary Club of Mukono Central has already planned projects that will involve supporting local entrepreneurs and small businesses to foster economic growth. We shall also focus on our Boy Child Uplifting Program (BCUP) beneficiaries who are obtaining marketable vocational skills training for productive work.
As I mentioned in my week’s message, October is also a beautiful month for the Rotary Club of Mukono Central as on 25th Oct, we will be celebrating 10yrs of service above self. The 10th anniversary will have special fundraising dinner party at the Ridar’s Hotel in Seeta. Several founding members are expected to join the current and past members to celebrate the occasion. The club’s former presidents will be recognized during this dinner.
Each of the past president will share highlights of the year they led the club. We will be celebrating as well raising funds for our projects like the Maternal Shade at Seeta Nazzigo Health Centre IV and our raining water harvesting project for the elderly and disabled in Kikandwa.
