Covid-19: Standard Chartered Bank donates Shs74 million to Straight Talk Foundation

Standard Chartered Bank donates Shs74 million to Straight Talk Foundation

Standard Chartered Bank has donated Shs74 Million to Straight Talk Foundation in support of COVID-19 interventions for people living with disabilities.

People living with disabilities are some of the most vulnerable to risks presented by COVID-19 as they may not be able to protect themselves sufficiently or have adequate access to relevant information on prevention measures.

It is in this regard that Standard Chartered Bank has extended a donation of Shs 74 million to Straight Talk Foundation to support people living with disabilities in the fight against Covid 19. The donation will primarily be used for formulation and production of infographic materials to suit persons with cognitive disabilities in an easy-to-read, interpret and understand manner. As well, the donation will be used for production of COVID-19 awareness materials into accessible formats such as braille for ease of quick reference by the visually impaired.

Speaking at the hand-over ceremony, Regina Mukiri, Head, Corporate Affairs, Brand & Marketing, Standard Chartered Bank Uganda emphasized the need for inclusion of people with disabilities to ensure their safety and wellbeing in these COVID-19 pandemic.

“We are delighted to partner with Straight Talk Foundation, a credible NGO to support people living with disabilities in Uganda. At Standard Chartered, we strongly embrace Diversity and Inclusion as a key component of our strategic intent to drive commerce and prosperity through our unique diversity. Disability is one of pillars of Diversity and Inclusion which we are focusing on because persons with disabilities are likely to be severely affected compared to the able-bodied colleagues,” she said.

“Most often they are not given top priority when planning or implementing projects and they are faced with both self-esteem barriers as well as the misconceptions largely from the society that focuses more on what they are unable to do as opposed to appreciating their abilities.  We therefore decided to make an intervention on their behalf because we believe that the donation will impact them positively and help mitigate risks associated with Covid 19. By giving them access to information, it is my firm belief that they will have empowered,” Regina said.

The Ag. Executive Director and Director Programs, Straight Talk Foundation, David Talima, appreciated Standard Chartered’ s gesture, acknowledging that the donation will make a huge difference in improving the health and wellbeing of persons with disabilities in Uganda.

“Despite the effort by the different players to respond to COVID-19 pandemic, little has been done to include those living with disabilities. The visually impaired for example can’t access the ordinarily COVID-19 print messages and similarly the deaf need sign language interpreters for a fair access to news in the electronic formats. We commit to use these resources and our expertise to bridge this gap.”

Standard Chartered Bank, true to its Brand promise, “Here for good” has been standing with its clients, staff and community during this challenging time.  With a heritage of over 108 years of doing business in Uganda, the Bank has remained resilient during good and challenging times. The Bank has to date donated over Shs 1.6bn (USD 450,000) towards the fight against the pandemic and are working in partnership with six NGOs .These include UNICEF, Uganda Red Cross, BRAC Uganda, Child Fund, You Belong, Straight talk Foundation and Brien Holden Vision Insitute.

Japan contributes US$600,000 towards fighting malnutrition in Karamoja region

Japan contributes US$600,000 towards fighting malnutrition in Karamoja

The United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) welcomed a contribution of US$600,000 from the Government of Japan to boost nutrition and prevent deaths of young children in Karamoja region, where households in two out of nine districts have malnutrition above emergency levels.

“This is a very timely and important contribution,” said WFP Country Director El-Khidir Daloum. “Japan has proved its commitment to supporting Uganda by addressing hunger at critical times through WFP and has played its part in both saving and improving people’s lives.”

Daloum said that Japan in the last five years has made generous annual contributions, giving a total of US$15.5 million including the latest support towards WFP’s work in Uganda.

Combined with other contributions, Japan’s funding will provide 244 metric tons of enriched foods to 26,000 children aged under five, pregnant women and new mothers in the worst-hit Moroto and Napak Districts for at least three months to stop overall malnutrition levels increasing.

An Integrated Food Security Phase Classification assessment found that between February and August, rates of life-threatening malnutrition were above Emergency levels in Moroto and Napak. The rest of the region’s districts were in Alert, meaning they also have relatively high levels of malnutrition.

Poor diets, chronic food shortages, poor sanitation and high levels of diarrhoea and malaria were cited as major contributors to the situation. High workloads for mothers and therefore reduced time for breastfeeding and other childcare were also cited as driving malnutrition.

Above-emergency levels of malnutrition call for blanket feeding, which means providing enriched foods to all children aged under five and pregnant women and new mothers in a specific area whether or not they are diagnosed with malnutrition. Blanket supplementary feeding helps reduce levels of malnutrition and the risk of deaths among young children.

The Japanese funding will enable WFP to reach the most vulnerable young children and pregnant and nursing women in Moroto and Napak with blanket supplementary feeding.

Pregnant and nursing women need more nutrients including minerals and vitamins than other women because of changes in their bodies. Malnourished children also have a greater need for nutrients and are more likely to fall sick because of reduced immunity and are at higher risk of death.

“On June 23, the Government of Japan decided to extend Emergency Grant Aid of US$600,000 to Uganda through WFP in response to the likely damage to crops due to desert locusts, and also to cater for often high rates of malnutrition in Karamoja,” said the Ambassador of Japan, Kazuaki Kameda,

“We very much hope the grant will improve the nutritional condition of children aged between 6-59 months and pregnant and nursing women in a region whose food security is also threatened by locusts and other pests, floods and human and animal diseases,” he added.

Karamoja already has high rates of stunting, where children are short for their age, low on immunity and often mentally impaired. Over 35 percent of children aged under five in the region are stunted. High rates of life-threatening and acute malnutrition combined with stunting put the futures of children at stake.

Men asked to engage more in HIV/AIDS fight

As Uganda is set to commemorate Philly Bongoley Lutaaya day on Saturday 17th, men have been asked to learn from him and engage in the initiatives that prevent and reduce the accelerating rates of HIV/AIDS infections in the country.

Esther Mbayo the minister in charge of Presidency, asks that men can be at the forefront of fighting against the spread of HIV/AIDS in this country like Lutaaya did, then it would be possible to have it out of Uganda by 2030.

Philly Bongoley Lutaaya, one of Uganda’s greatest musicians, came out openly as having HIV/ AIDS and started preaching about HIV and how each and every one should protect themselves. This was the beginning of Uganda’s success story and Philly gave HIV/AID.

Lutaaya used music to convey a message of hope and to educate the population about HIV/AIDS and how to prevent it. He indeed pioneered the fight against stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV. Today, his song Alone and frightened remains Uganda’s anthem for HIV/AIDS.

Minister Mbayo notes that since men are the decision makers, they should be good examples by testing for HIV/AIDS and encourage their spouses to do the same. Minister Mbayo believes that this will help both men and women to know their HIV status and start on the medication as early as possible.

The ministers added that other initiatives like men engaging in the prevention of mother to child transmission, disclosing their HIV status if they are possible, will as well be of the help.

She however notes that social-cultural barriers continue to widen the gap of gender inequality, thus increasingly making women more powerless in decision making, an act she says contributes to the spread of HIV/AIDS especially when it comes to openly fighting the disease.

Dr Stephen Watiti who has lived with HIV for over 30 years says men have a great role to play in fighting HIV/AIDS because they are the leaders in our societies.

Watiti argues that if a man tests HIV positive and keeps quiet, the disease will eat him up. He adds that men should go for testing and if they test HIV, they should not be in hiding since it does help at all.

 He notes that despite the work Philly Bongoley Lutaaya and other activists, stigma and discrimination of people living with HIV remains a significant barrier in Uganda’s fight against HIV/AIDS which he believes men should come out and fight against.

As a result, many people with HIV delay to be tested, treated, fail to adhere to their medication and therefore cannot achieve viral suppression, a challenge that  Watiti says men should engage in and fight.

Esther Kabashambo, a student at Makerere University who lives with HIV/AIDS explains that even among unmarried youths, especially those dating, a boy is very important in being at the forefront of fighting HIV since girls tend to listen to decisions taken by their boyfriends.

Kabashambo who is also the national miss Y+, a beauty pageant that is organized by Uganda Network of young people living with HIV to fight stigma and discrimination in young people, says men should be the ones cheer leading because women tend to follow them and through that it will be easy to prevent spread of HIV/AIDS in Uganda.

Tezra Lutaaya, a daughter to the late Musician Philly Bongoley Lutaaya explains that men in any society in Uganda have an upper hand in all activities. She adds that her father set a heroic example which men should look up to and fight HIV/AIDS in this country.

Uganda has made significant progress in reducing new HIV infections, HIV prevalence and AIDS related deaths.

In the late 80’s and early 90’s, HIV prevalence ranged from 18 per cent among the general population up to 30 per cent in specific population groups.

It is now at 6.8 per cent for women and 4.2 per cent for men, 2.8 per cent among young women and 1.1 per cent among young men.

There are approximately 1,400,000 people living with HIV and 1,200,000 of these are on treatment. There were 53,000 new HIV infections and about 20,000 AIDS related deaths in 2019 alone.

Impact of Covid-19 on people’s livelihoods, their health and food systems

food

The COVID-19 pandemic has led to a dramatic loss of human life worldwide and presents an unprecedented challenge to public health, food systems and the world of work. The economic and social disruption caused by the pandemic is devastating, tens of millions of people are at risk of falling into extreme poverty, while the number of undernourished people, currently estimated at nearly 690 million, could increase by up to 132 million by the end of the year.

Millions of enterprises face an existential threat. Nearly half of the world’s 3.3 billion global workforce are at risk of losing their livelihoods. Informal economy workers are particularly vulnerable because the majority lack social protection and access to quality health care and have lost access to productive assets. Without the means to earn an income during lockdowns, many are unable to feed themselves and their families. For most, no income means no food, or, at best, less food and less nutritious food.

The pandemic has been affecting the entire food system and has laid bare its fragility. Border closures, trade restrictions and confinement measures have been preventing farmers from accessing markets, including for buying inputs and selling their produce, and agricultural workers from harvesting crops, thus disrupting domestic and international food supply chains and reducing access to healthy, safe and diverse diets. The pandemic has decimated jobs and placed millions of livelihoods at risk. As breadwinners lose jobs, fall ill and die, the food security and nutrition of millions of women and men are under threat, with those in low-income countries, particularly the most marginalized populations, which include small-scale farmers and indigenous peoples, being hardest hit.

Millions of agricultural workers  waged and self-employed  while feeding the world, regularly face high levels of working poverty, malnutrition and poor health, and suffer from a lack of safety and labour protection as well as other types of abuse. With low and irregular incomes and a lack of social support, many of them are spurred to continue working, often in unsafe conditions, thus exposing themselves and their families to additional risks.

Further, when experiencing income losses, they may resort to negative coping strategies, such as distress sale of assets, predatory loans or child labour. Migrant agricultural workers are particularly vulnerable, because they face risks in their transport, working and living conditions and struggle to access support measures put in place by governments. Guaranteeing the safety and health of all agri-food workers  from primary producers to those involved in food processing, transport and retail, including street food vendors  as well as better incomes and protection, will be critical to saving lives and protecting public health, people’s livelihoods and food security.

In the COVID-19 crisis food security, public health, and employment and labour issues, in particular workers’ health and safety, converge. Adhering to workplace safety and health practices and ensuring access to decent work and the protection of labour rights in all industries will be crucial in addressing the human dimension of the crisis.

Immediate and purposeful action to save lives and livelihoods should include extending social protection towards universal health coverage and income support for those most affected. These include workers in the informal economy and in poorly protected and low-paid jobs, including youth, older workers, and migrants. Particular attention must be paid to the situation of women, who are over-represented in low-paid jobs and care roles. Different forms of support are key, including cash transfers, child allowances and healthy school meals, shelter and food relief initiatives, support for employment retention and recovery, and financial relief for businesses, including micro, small and medium-sized enterprises. In designing and implementing such measures it is essential that governments work closely with employers and workers.

Countries dealing with existing humanitarian crises or emergencies are particularly exposed to the effects of COVID-19. Responding swiftly to the pandemic, while ensuring that humanitarian and recovery assistance reaches those most in need, is critical.

Now is the time for global solidarity and support, especially with the most vulnerable in our societies, particularly in the emerging and developing world. Only together can we overcome the intertwined health and social and economic impacts of the pandemic and prevent its escalation into a protracted humanitarian and food security catastrophe, with the potential loss of already achieved development gains.

William Nkemba - SC Villa president

Sports Club Villa Jogoo’s interim committee has today declared what the future holds for the club, as they announced a new leadership structure.

The committee led by Club Chairman William Nkemba confirmed the decision to reposition and redirect during a press conference at the Sheraton Rwenzori Ball Room in Kampala on Wednesday, 14 October 2020.

Nkemba confirmed that Sports Club Villa will now be led by ‘Villa Members Trust’ to be inducted on October 30th.

“We managed to go back to the roots of the club and we now announce the Villa Members’ Trust as the owners of Villa and will be duly incorporated on October 30,” Nkemba said.

According to Nkemba, the membership to the Villa Members’ Trust shall be for those persons who subscribe annually and pay a fee of Shs50,000.

“Current and future assets of SC Villa Jogoo will be owned by the members. It is only the members who will have a say in affairs of the club,” Nkemba Stated.

The trust will be launching on 30th October and will be open till the 31st December 2020.

“The development to start the Villa Members’ Trust has received the approval and concurrence of the founding members of SC Villa,” Nkemba clarified.

The members of Villa Members’ Trust shall be entitled to vote for the club presidency every four years, and hold a season ticket every season to watch all home games.

All those willing to register have been given several alternatives and options as registering at the club’s office in Industrial Area, Kampala and online platforms that will be confirmed later.

The congress which will be composed of not more than 120 members will come with the club executive committee, a president who will be accountable to the sporting success and the club CEO.

The lack of a league title for SC Villa since 2004 has co-existed with leadership inadequacies and ownership issues at the club enduring a very tough period in the last few years with surviving relegation in the 2018/19 season.

The club that started as Nakivubo Boys in 1975, renamed Nakivubo Villa in 1979 and then later come to be known as SC Villa, is now going back to its roots so as to ensure a brighter future.

Meawhile, the team has already started training in preparation for the 2020/21 Uganda Premier League that kicks-off on 20th November under the guidance of coaches Edward Kaziba (head coach), Ibrahim Kirya (assistant), Mubarak Kiberu (goalkeeping) and the trainers’ duo of former players Joseph Nestroy Kizito and Phillip Ssozi.
