The Judith Nahurira Foundation, led by Ugandan philanthropist, humanitarian, and entrepreneur, Judith “The Boss Lady UK,” has stepped up to provide critical support to the victims of the recent Kitezi garbage disaster.
On Thursday, August 22, the Foundation visited the Red Cross Camp in Kitezi, where survivors and orphans are seeking refuge. In addition to providing immediate relief in the form of food, soap, and other essentials, the Foundation made a significant commitment to educate the children who have lost their parents in the tragedy.
This initiative marks a crucial step, as Judith “The Boss Lady UK” is the first Ugandan civilian, outside of the Prime Minister’s Office, to offer such long-term support. Her pledge to provide education to over 10 children offers a glimmer of hope for a brighter future.
“I am humbled to be in a position to give back to the community,” said Judith “The Boss Lady UK.” “These children need hope to escape poverty, and with all that I can offer, I will ensure they receive an education so their remaining families can focus on survival.”
John Cliff Wamala, leading the Red Cross team at the camp, expressed gratitude for the Foundation’s intervention. “This is something many of us here have been concerned about, and we are thankful to Judith for taking on this significant responsibility,” he said. “We urge more Ugandans to follow her example, as it’s crucial to plan for tomorrow while addressing today’s challenges.”
The Judith Nahurira Foundation has a history of supporting Ugandan communities, including a project in Kalerwe that has provided interest-free loans to 26 hard-working Ugandans. The Foundation’s mission is clear, “To empower and protect those in need.”
We encourage those who share this mission to partner with the Judith Nahurira Foundation. Learn more about their ongoing efforts and explore ways to contribute on their website www.judith-foundation.
Together, we can make a real difference in the lives of these vulnerable children and the communities they come from.
