The Global 5K Run (Global 5 kilometers run), a fundraising campaign is set to take place on 19th October, globally, and on 2nd November in Uganda. 

This year’s virtual event is organised by the Uganda Students Program Alumni through Uganda Partners and Uganda Christian University (UCU) Honors College.

During the visit, the UCU Rotaractors donated 30 pregnancy kits, commonly known as *mama kits*, containing essential supplies for safe deliveries. In addition to the kits, they provided food donations, including 8 kilograms of rice, 10 kilograms of posho, and 1 kilogram of sugar, to help address the nutritional challenges often faced by pregnant women in the area.

“I wasn’t proud of my lifestyle,” says the journalism major. “I was so relaxed, just sitting there and adding fat to my body. I knew that something about me had to change.” 

Residents of Bugujju-Mukono have raised an alarm on what they say is rising insecurity in the area and have reported incidents of theft and assault. According to them, the thieves have taken to stabbing their victims and stealing valuables including cash, phones, and other items.

A petition has been filed at the Guild Tribunal at Uganda Christian University (UCU) alleging the misuse of the guild funds by the 26th Guild Government’s Prime Minister, Rt. Hon. Nassozi Gelda. The petition was filed by students Edgar Okitoi, Andrew Marvin Kinobere, and Abraham Elomabani, who are represented by KEA Advocates on August 8th.
