“Ugandans need our help especially the orphans. This year we promise to be more aggressive than last year and make our presence felt,†he said.
He said uganda telecom is expanding its networks to offer better services countrywide.
Onago thanked the company and asked other corporate bodies to emulate uganda telecom and help ease the plight of orphans in Uganda.
“The number of orphans in Uganda continues to grow and it becomes hard for one organisation to manage. I appeal to other companies to come up and help us,†he said.
He said the money would be used to build more homes in addition to the present 99 in three villages.
