In a strategic move to expand its corporate social responsibility (CSR) efforts, Letshego Uganda has invested UGX10m in a health and wellness initiative in partnership with the Archdiocese of Mbarara Development Association (AMDA).

The investment is a significant step towards enhancing the quality of life in rural areas, particularly in Ntungamo District. The health and wellness caravan, organized by AMDA, aims to provide essential health services and financial empowerment opportunities to underserved communities.

Giles Aijukwe, CEO of Letshego Uganda, emphasized the importance of community-driven initiatives and financial inclusion in enhancing the quality of life in rural areas. “Our partnership with AMDA is a reflection of our dedication to uplifting those who are often overlooked by mainstream financial institutions,” he said.

Community members flock to the AMDA Health Camp in Rushooka, Ntungamo district, receiving vital health services and resources, supported by Letshego Uganda’s UGX10m donation as part of their Community Sustainability outreach efforts.

Roger Mugisha Shillingi, Head of Corporate Affairs at Letshego Uganda, highlighted the significance of financial education in rural communities. “Financial empowerment is key to breaking the cycle of poverty in our rural communities,” he noted.

The collaboration between Letshego Uganda and AMDA is expected to have a lasting impact on the people of Ntungamo District, fostering financial inclusion and sustainable development in the region. The UGX10m contribution from Letshego Uganda will enhance the outreach of the caravan, ensuring more people benefit from the health and financial services provided.”
