Rwampara – Women’s Day Celebrations of June 25th, 2023 in the western District of Rwampara will for long be remembered in their history calendar as full of happiness and jubilations especially to the women groups and stakeholders of Kitojo primary school.
The event which was organised by the District Woman Member of Parliament Hon. Molly Asiimwe Musiime was amplified by the guest of honour , Katakwi woman member of Parliament HE. Jessica Epel Alupo who doubles as the Vice President of the Republic of Uganda. The event’s major purpose was to fundraise for the construction of Kitojo primary school’s facilities like toilets and staff quarters.
Alupo made both residents and leaders speechless when she contributed Ugx20M towards the renovation of Kitojo primary, injected Ugx15m to the 15 women groups and also bought off a cow at Ugx10m that made a total of over Ugx45m. This left women groups and Kitojo primary school stakeholders chanting and jubilating.
Meanwhile, Alupo also promised to rehabilitate Kitojo road via Kashuro to which she said it was her first time to pass into such a poor state road as a Vice President. She added that such a road connects to quick service delivery. She conclusively thanked Rwampara leaders for effective coordination in implementing and monitoring Government Programs.
