Nnaabagereka Sylvia Nagginda tours women empowerment projects in Mawokota

Her Royal Highness the Nnaabagereka, Sylvia Nagginda, visited Mawokota and first stopped at the home of Oweekitiibwa Fred Masagazi Masaazi.

 Together with his wife, they showed the Nnaabagereka their poultry farming project, which has created employment opportunities for many young people in the area, alongside generating income from coffee farming.

From there, the Nnaabagereka visited the Amaka Amalungi Akaalo Amatendo project at the home of Mrs. Josephine Nantume and Mr. Vincent Ssemanda in Mbizzinnya parish. The couple has improved their farming by growing crops, keeping bees, and constructing a water system they use to take care of their livestock and gardens.

After leaving Mbizzinnya, the Nnaabagereka proceeded to Katikanyonyi village, where she visited the home of Namwandu Zainabu Nakijoba Ssabiiti, a poultry farmer who also makes herbal medicine, practices farming, and effectively uses water for irrigation and to support her livestock.

Mrs. Josephine Nantume and Zainabu Nakijoba Ssabiiti told the Nnaabagereka that they have been able to become self-reliant through these projects.

During the visit, the Nnaabagereka was accompanied by Oweek. Hajjat Mariam Nkalubo Mayanja, Oweek. Choltilda Nakate Kikomeko, Omutaka Nsamba Aloysious Lubega Magandaazi (the caretaker of the Kayima seat), Hajji Kasujja Kagga Hassan, the Mawokota Women’s Leader Juliet Namanda Ssennyomo, as well as religious leaders and other local leaders at different levels.
