H.E the President, Yoweri Kaguta Museveni has reinforced support for Kampala ghetto SACCOs by fulfilling additional financial commitments.
This follows the success of a pilot project led by Brigadier General Ddamulira and Major Emma Kutesa, which has economically empowered ghetto youth and reduced crime. In a recent meeting at State House Entebbe, Museveni reaffirmed his connection with the ghetto youth and emphasized using funds for productive activities.
The beneficiaries include:
1. Kawempe Kikankane Bamwoyo Gwagwanga (Shs1.3bn)
2. Katanga Young People Cooperative Society (Shs500m),
3. KCCA Councillors Economic Agenda SACCO (Shs500m), and,
4. Nakulabye Jambo Associates Cooperative Society Ltd (Shs500m).
The initiative supports small businesses, sustainability, and steers youth away from crime.
