Uganda Breweries has donated items worth Shs30M to the Luzira community Youth and Women. The donation includes 400 plastic chairs, 10tables, 2 portable mini-sound systems, and 4-fifty-seater tents which will serve as revenue-generating assets through hire towards community development initiatives.
While handing over the items to the Youth and Women community in Luzira, Uganda Breweries Corporate Relations Director, Sheila Sabune, emphasized that this initiative represents a sustainable approach to corporate social responsibility.
She highlighted that, rather than relying solely on UBL for support, the recipients will have the opportunity to use these assets as a social enterprise—generating income and funding their other community activities as well as use them for their own events.
“This initiative fits within this ongoing Spirit of Progress Environmental, Societal and Governance (ESG) action plan; that envisions fostering positive societal impact that includes championing inclusion and diversity across the value-chain”, she added.
Over the past year, the country’s GDP indicates the economy grew by 6.1% driven by the services sector according to the Uganda Bureau of Statistics (UBOS).
The Luzira community expressed their gratitude towards Uganda Breweries, “Thank you, Uganda Breweries, for demonstrating that you truly care about the communities in Luzira. You are showing leadership in how companies can partner with the communities in which they operate,’ Said Fatuma Naigaga.
