MASAKA - The Uganda Registration Services Bureau (URSB) has donated essential food items, sanitary supplies and other welfare materials to Masaka School for the Deaf as part of its corporate social responsibility programme aimed at supporting vulnerable communities.
The donation was delivered by a URSB delegation led by registrar general Mercy K. Kainobwisho during a visit to the school in Masaka on June 20, 2026. The items were received by the school’s director, Francis Kamulegeya.
Masaka School for the Deaf is a specialised institution that provides nursery, primary and basic vocational education to deaf and hearing-impaired children.
In addition to academic instruction, the school promotes sports, music, dance and drama, while implementing family empowerment programmes to support children with special needs.

The latest outreach adds to a range of CSR activities undertaken by URSB over the years, including support to educational institutions, health facilities, environmental conservation initiatives and community development programmes.
Through these initiatives, URSB says it aims to extend public service beyond its statutory mandate by contributing to social and economic development and improving the well-being of communities across Uganda.
