MTN Uganda will support Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) in developing the city’s schools bio-toilet facilities.
This as MTN presented KCCA executive director Jennifer Musisi with a Shs 500m cheque, following funds raised during the 12th edition of the MTN Kampala Marathon, last November.
MTN Uganda chief executive officer Brian Gouldie said KCCA was selected to support schools around the five divisions of Kampala. The money will be used to improve access to sustainable sanitation and safe water for the vulnerable urban communities, especially children.
“We are proud to be making a meaningful contribution towards the KCCA’s efforts to improve sanitation for some Kampala schools,” Gouldie said. “We are grateful to work with our valued partners; Huawei Uganda, New Vision, Stanbic bank, Rwenzori Water, Spedag Interfreight and Uganda Athletics Federation (UAF) to make this possible.”
In 2015, MTN and partners commissioned 18 boreholes in Nakapiripirit district that were constructed with proceeds from the 2014 marathon. Receiving the cheque, Musisi applauded MTN and partners for the good gesture and challenged other corporate bodies.
