Government calls on citizens to support essential social services
The Minister of Gender, Labour, and Social Development, Betty Amongi, has urged Ugandans to adopt a mindset shift in their giving culture, by supporting essential social services such as education and healthcare. Speaking during the Annual Philanthropy Symposium, Minister Amongi questioned the spending patterns of many Ugandans, particularly the heavy contributions made towards weddings, funerals, and church donations, as opposed to other social services.
