TULLOW Oil has joined Katalemwa Cheshire Homes to raise awareness and funds for childhood disability in the country. Tullow’s contribution is part of the activities to mark the home’s 40th anniversary.
The centre rehabilitates children with disabilities. Katalemwa, Afro-Jazz musicians Richard Kaweesa and Michael Ouma, have already launched the “donate a concert†initiative in which companies, individuals and organisations can support the campaign through various donations including paying sh8m for the concert.
Tullow last week sponsored the first concert at Alliance Francaise in Kampala, raising sh30m with Wonderful International and Nile Breweries joining the cause with sh8m each.
Brian Glover, the Tullow general manager, noted that they appreciated Katalemwa’s efforts in helping children with disability. “They are doing a great work to improve the lives of children with disability and we chose to partner with them in order to create the momentum to raise more funds and to encourage other individuals and companies to join the cause,†Glover said.
Connie Tinka, the executive director of Katalemwa Chesire Homes, said the money would be used to reach many other children with disabilities across the country.
