WOMENS DAY.
8th March is internationally celebrated as women’s day. The ACI- Uganda team was invited to an event in Wakiso discrit,
Katabi – Entebbe, where all the women with some men converged to carry out
different fun activities while celebrating the woman. The day was very fruitful
as the team discovered the women’s success and challenges. The fact that we had
contributed to the success of some women in the area through our micro finance
project made us proud.

Women and young girls competed in activities like bicycle
riding , banana ( matooke peeling) among others. Messages were passed on preservation of culture and being a lady in
everything. The district woman MP Rose
Mary Seninde was in attendance and argued women not to spend beyond their
means. She asked them to practice the saving culture because the woman today
has assumed the care taker role in a family.

Shirley Misango was also recognized individually for the good work she is doing
at the District level with NGO forum.
