Bugiri gets sh49m

New Vision (Kampala) - May 7, 2004
David Musengeri


NGOs have given sh49m to support vulnerable children in Bugiri district.

Representatives from the FOC-Rev Ministries and UNICEF signed a memorandum of understanding at Bugiri district headquarters recently.

FOC-Rev Ministries is an NGO giving support to people living with HIV/AIDS in the country.

The UNICEF eastern region programme officer, Mbidde Lukyamuzi, signed on behalf of UNICEF.

The money is to cater for 40 orphans in Muterere and Banda sub-counties. It will also cater for training in handcraft skills, modern agriculture and providing improved seeds.

Lukyamuzi appealed to FOC-Rev to be an efficient NGO.

"It is discouraging to see NGOs messing up well-funded projects," he said.
