Betika Uganda, SafeBoda, Radio Simba and Ntugasaze FC joined forces on Saturday for a community clean-up at Bukoto Market and its surrounding areas, in support of Uganda’s National Cleaning Day.
The government-led initiative, observed on the last Saturday of every month, encourages businesses, institutions and communities to take collective responsibility for cleaner public spaces under the national theme “A Clean Uganda is Everybody’s Responsibility.”
The exercise began at Kira Road Police Station at 7:00 a.m., with officers from the station joining participating teams as they headed towards Bukoto Market. The clean-up focused on the market and surrounding public spaces used daily by traders, residents and commuters.
Betika Uganda, a licensed gaming operator regulated by the National Lotteries and Gaming Regulatory Board (NLGRB), the initiative reflects its commitment to responsible corporate citizenship and making a positive contribution to the communities where it operates.
“Being a responsible brand goes beyond running a business. It means actively contributing to the communities we serve. We’re proud to join SafeBoda, Radio Simba and Ntugasaze FC in supporting this national initiative and making a practical difference at Bukoto Market,” said Desire Akanduhura, Marketing Lead, Betika Uganda.
Christian Wamambe, Country Director at SafeBoda, noted, “Kampala’s streets and markets are part of everyday life for our riders, customers and communities. Keeping these spaces clean is everyone’s responsibility, and we’re pleased to work alongside our partners to make a positive contribution.”
The collaboration brought together sport, mobility and media, with Radio Simba supporting community awareness and Ntugasaze FC extending its partnership with Betika beyond football.
The partners encouraged traders, residents and businesses to carry the spirit of National Cleaning Day beyond the monthly exercise and make cleaner surroundings part of everyday life.
