New Vision (Kampala) - November 26, 2002
The project coordinator, Rose Gawaya, said this on Friday while handing over symbols of power to Clare Nkirirehe at Bativa Hotel.
The condoms which were distributed in Wandegeya, Kisenyi, Katwe, Naguru and Nakulabye have earned the project fame.
"I was too excited when Slum Aid gave me free condoms because I was able to save sh5,000 every month," said Frank Kwakule one of the beneficiaries living in Kisenyi.
90% of the men interviewed hailed the project, saying they saved about sh9,000 per month as a result of getting free condoms.
Grace Ssozi, a councillor from Nakulabye, criticised women for not responding positively.
