Rev. James William Ssebagala, at a fundraising dinner in support of the construction of the Mothers’ Union House.
The fundraising dinner was held at Serova Portico Hotel, where religious leaders, government officials and other invited guests gathered to support the development of the Mothers’ Union House, an initiative aimed at strengthening the organisation’s work and expanding its capacity to serve communities.

The minister emphasised that the work of the Mothers’ Union went beyond supporting individual households, noting that its efforts in promoting family stability also contributed to broader social transformation and national progress.
He encouraged continued support for initiatives that strengthened families and empowered communities, recognising the importance of partnerships between religious institutions, government and other stakeholders in addressing social challenges.
The presence of Munanura and Bishop Ssebagala added to the significance of the fundraising dinner, bringing together representatives from the public service and religious leadership in support of the Mothers’ Union House construction project.
