Wakiso District Council is set to partner with Rotary to equip All Saints Jjanyi Health Centre. This was revealed by Dr. Matia Lwanga Bwanika the District chairman on Wednesday, October 23, 2024 at Jjanyi as he welcomed the Rotary District Governor Agnes Batengas Mungati (District 9214 Tanzania - Uganda).
Bwanika was happy to note that Rotary was doing a lot of work to serve humanity.
"Rotary is doing work, which we in government should have been doing" he noted adding that "the district will be much willing to partner with you to see that this health centre is equipped"
" Let's formalise with a meeting for a health facility at Jjanyi" he said.
Addressing rotarians, church leaders and residents of Jjanyi, the Rotary District Governor Agnes Batengas Mungati was happy to note that Rotary club of Kajjansi was collaborating with the Church and Wakiso District for such a project.
"What is so special about RC Kajjansi are the partnerships you have with donors and communities" she said adding that such partnerships will create an impact in the area.
On his part the president of the Rotary club of Kajjansi Amos Aine said that they wanted to extend medical services closer to the people, since they had been carrying out immunisation in the area simce 2003. "We identified a need for Maternal and Child Health in the area, when we approached the Church, they welcomed the idea with outstretched arms" he said.
He went on to say that the Club had worked tirelessly in the past two months to construct the health centre to that level. "We have constructed this health centre using money from selling of apples every Wednesday" Aine said.
On his part, the Head of Laity for All Saints Jjanyi Church of Uganda, Edward Ssebagala couldn't hold his joy as he said "It is inspiring us to produce more children."
This project is jointly implemented by Rotary Club of Kajjansi and All Saints Jjanyi Church of Uganda. It is expected to serve over 7,000 residents of Jjanyi, Bwebajja, Ddundu, Nganjo, Ddewe, Bweya and Kanyigo Bulonde in Kajjansi Town Council.
