LAST month’s MTN Kampala Marathon raised sh38m for the Red Cross Mama Bag project, reports Norman Katende.

MTN donates money contributed by corporate teams to the project to help expectant mothers in the war-ravaged northern Uganda. The mama bag contains utilities needed by expectant mothers during delivery.

“Mama Bag gets money raised from corporate teams. We are sure it will go a long way in helping Red Cross achieve their aim,” said MTN publicist Tina Byaruhanga.

Kenyans Isaiah Kosgei and Jane Suuto won the men and women marathon races respectively.

Rwenzori Beverages, Saracen, Red Cross, New Vision, DHL, True Africans, SMS Media and Uhuru Restaurant facilitated the IAAF sanctioned event.
