Community Support

Kampala Capital City Authority’s Deputy Executive Director, Benon Kigenyi, graced the event, bringing over 35 participants from KCCA. He promised to support initiatives aimed at improving health service delivery and highlighted KCCA’s new hygiene initiative in Kampala City.

Promoting Tourism
