Pastor Obed Ndyamuba, the Manager of A Light of the Nation Ministries, which originates from America, highlighted their efforts in schools to preach and encourage young girls to avoid dropping out, drug abuse, and early pregnancies. They have also donated footballs to support sports for skills enhancement and organized this general cleaning to emphasize that public cleanliness is a collective responsibility.
Pastor Elaisha Kakwerere, the Chairperson of the Harvest Crusade organizing team, stated that the general cleaning is part of the preparations for the Crusade, scheduled for July 18-21 at Rukungiri Main Stadium, emphasizing that cleanliness is next to godliness.
