“On 9th July, we launched a campaign dubbed, ” Humanity Needs You” where we want to rally the whole public to join hands with us and support service to humanity. Mr. Kwesiga acknowledges that all this is coming at a time when the world around us is rapidly changing, with climate change, migration, and public health crisis shaping the landscape of humanitarian work. “It is imperative that as we face all these humanitarian challenges, we remain agile and responsive, while leveraging innovation and collaborations to meet the most critical humanitarian needs of the people we serve. I thank Eco Bank for taking the lead and signing off this Partnership, where we will work together to address issues affecting humanity.”

“I implore others to join us to work collaboratively in delivering timely humanitarian support to the people of Uganda,” Mr. Kwesiga added.

The Ecobank Uganda Managing Director Ms Grace Muliisa expressed enthusiasm about the partnership, highlighting its potential benefit to the public, but more so, to ensure that no girl in Uganda misses out on education simply because of lack of hygiene support.

“We are happy to collaborate with the Uganda Red Cross and contribute to humanitarian efforts in the country. We have committed to a number of initiatives in this MOU, but the one of empowering girls through education is so key to us. We want to foster a generation of educated women who can contribute positively to their communities and the broader society. It is not too late, we can do it, and we implore others to join the cause. The humanitarian needs of people are many, and it is not work that can be done by Ecobank alone, and we are happy to contribute to this noble cause.”https://admissions.kiu.ac.ug/
