NILE Bank, Diamond Trust Bank and Western Union have donated $12,500 (sh24.8m) to Uganda Women’s Effort to Save Orphans (UWESO) to facilitate purchase of essential items, reports James Odomel.

Nile Bank’s managing director, Richard Byarugaba, handed over the cheque to UWESO’s chairperson, Marcella Mukasa, in Kampala on Wednesday.

Byarugaba said Western Union was committed to identifying with organisations, which help people with HIV/AIDS.

“As we celebrate World AIDS Day, we recognise the importance of helping victims of this pandemic. AIDS is still a serious problem,” he said.

UWESO’s fundraising committee chairperson, Camille Aliker, said the organisation runs an orphanage in Masulita and supports children in 14 districts.
