Roofings Group donates to the needy

Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Roofings Group has donated state-of-the-art wheelchairs to children with disabilities, reinforcing their commitment to community support and corporate social responsibility. The donation was made during the Community-Based Rehabilitation (CBR) Conference, organized by the Ministry of Gender, Labor, and Social Development at Imperial Resort Hotel, Entebbe, on September 13.

Rukia Nakadama Isanga, the third deputy prime minister and minister without portfolio, praised Roofings Group for their generosity and called on other corporate companies in Uganda to increase their support for people with disabilities. “Roofings Group’s contribution brings hope and empowerment to children with disabilities,” Nakadama said, emphasizing how essential such donations are to improving lives.

Stuart Mwesigwa, Roofings Group’s Corporate Affairs Manager, reiterated the company’s dedication to supporting marginalized communities as part of their corporate social responsibility (CSR) strategy. He noted, “Our support for children today is about more than just empowering their dreams; it’s about shaping future leaders who will bring positive change to their communities.”

Mwesigwa also pointed out that the wheelchairs were produced locally, in alignment with the “Buy Uganda, Build Uganda” (BUBU) initiative. Roofings Group partnered with Kyaninga Mobility in 2023 to support a workshop that produces sustainable, easy-to-repair wheelchairs.
