Kampala, Uganda | THE INDEPENDENT | Uganda Breweries in partnership with the Kampala Capital City Authority (KCCA) has commissioned a Shs130m new sanitation block in Bukoto market, one of the suburbs of Kampala which currently has a population of about 500 people. This newly commissioned block is intended for use by the traders of this particular market and the neighboring community.

Uganda Breweries Managing Director, Andrew Kilonzo emphasized the organization’s commitment to improving sanitation and providing safe water options to various communities around the Kampala suburbs whose residents for a long time have had challenges with accessing clean and safe water as well as toilets and bathrooms that are in a good condition. Kilonzo said, “Access to clean and safe water remains a significant challenge in Uganda, and while there have been improvements in recent years, a substantial portion of the population still lacks access to clean water and sanitation facilities.

By providing this vital resource, we have taken a commendable step towards empowering the people of Bukoto Market and enabling them to lead healthier and more productive lives.” The KCCA Executive Director Dorothy Kisaka said, “As KCCA we are aware of the sanitation gaps in our city and the need for facilities that are accessible with clean water sources in areas in the city that have very high numbers of people.”
