Wednesday, September 14, 2016

Color, pomp and entertainment at Golf Course Hotel on Wednesday 27th July saw World Vision Uganda (WVU) climax its 30 year anniversary celebration. Jacob Oulanyah, the deputy speaker of Uganda’s parliament applauded WVU’s achievement and urged the organization to take its ‘vision’ to another level.

“Impacting the lives of five million children is no mean achievement. However, laws, policies, money and more partners are still needed to enhance the organization’s vision,” he said.

In his keynote address, Gilbert Kamanga, WVU’s national director told guests that the organization has invested about $850m in the last 30 years. This has been in the areas of health, education, livelihood, emergency response, child protection and water and sanitation. 

“As an organization, we have made a commitment to stay in the communities for a longer time. We have over 700 staff at the moment and we hope to reach out to over six million children by 2020,” Kamanga said.
