Residents of Ruhinda South County, Mitooma District, are celebrating the installation of solar-powered street lights donated by the Kazoora Foundation.
The Kazoora Foundation, a charitable organization established by the late Kazoora Eliasaph’s family, focuses on providing scholarships and supporting infrastructure projects like churches, schools, and bridges. They also engage in income-generating initiatives such as livestock donations across Mitooma District and neighboring areas.
Arthur Atuhwereire Kazoora, the Director of Kazoora Foundation, who oversaw the commissioning of the street lights, announced that the foundation has already donated 89 cows, 112 goats and sheep, and scholarships. He expressed optimism about expanding their efforts.
He emphasized that the Kazoora Foundation is non-partisan and encourages responsible use of their donations for the benefit of the community.
Many trading centers in the area have received a trial set of solar-powered street lights for three months. If these prove effective, additional lights costing 385 million UGX will be provided.
Evalyn Ahimbisibwe Hindia, the Chairperson of LC3 Rurehe Sub County, Mitooma District, expressed delight, noting that none of the 38 villages in her sub-county are connected to the main power grid. She believes the street lights will help reduce crime rates associated with darkness in the area.
Rt Rev Ivan Mwesigwa, the Bishop of the Holy Trinity Cathedral Pentecostal Church Mbarara, who led prayers at the event, urged people to vote for visionary leaders rather than those offering inducements.
Levi Baguma, a resident of Buhasha A2 Cell, Rurehe Parish, who won a cow in a draw competition, praised the Kazoora Foundation for promoting community development. He pledged to take good care of the cow to benefit his community.
Jennifer Kareme, who received a goat, expressed her excitement, stating that the animal will complement her existing projects. She vowed to care for the goat responsibly to generate income.
