HOIMA- The outgoing bishop of Bunyoro Kitara Diocese, Samuel Kahuma has asked women in the diocese to start income-generating projects as one way of increasing their income.

Bishop Kahuma, who was on Tuesday presiding over the annual general meeting for the Mother’s Union at St. Peter’s Cathedral, asked the women to ensure that even when they join the business industry, they should deal in quality products as one way of attracting customers.

“Women should engage in modern and productive agriculture as well as other business ventures which may improve their incomes but as they do so let them deal in quality products which will attract customers,” Kahuma said.

Kahuma appreciated the Mother’s Union in the diocese for spearheading several church developments and asked them to continue upholding Christian values.

“Several projects have been accomplished by the women in the diocese and we appreciate their unity across all the churches.

Kahuma emphasized that through genuine repentance and faith in Christ, believers can experience the transformative power of God’s grace and be set free from the bondage of sin.

Kahuma urged the wedded couples in the Anglican church to join the Mother’s Union and Christian Women Fellowship ministries so that the church can have vibrant structures.

Grace Mukugize the president of the Mother’s Union in the diocese said that during the AGM they presented various projects which have been undertaken and those they intend to undertake in the next year.

Mukugize said that currently they are mobilizing resources for the construction works of the Mother’s Union Guest House at Duhaga.

“We are currently mobilizing resources for the construction of the building and we are appealing to all well-wishers to come out and support this great work of God,” Mukugize said.

The bishop-elect for Bunyoro Kitara diocese Rev. Canon Jacob Ateirweho who also attended the AGM asked more married couples to join mothers and fathers union in order to have stable families.

“We need to encourage the young married couples to join the mother’s and father’s union ministries so that we can have stable families,” Ateirweho said.

Ateirweho appreciated the role of the women's ministry in the diocese and pledged to continue supporting them to uplift the women's ministry.

He pledged to continue supporting the different church structures and ensuring that they are all vibrant and performing.

“During our ministry, we shall continue working with all the church structures that have been put in place because we serve better when all structures are vibrant,” he said.
