By Jesca Nankumba

This was under the community banking programme.While speaking at the organisation's headquarters recently, the communications officer, Charles Kakaire, said the programme was aimed at developing women and children.

Kakaire said it focused on health, education and economic development and involved giving loans to women to start businesses to help them cater for their children.

Kakaire said the programme also trained women on how to improve management of their businesses in order to increase their earnings.

The districts which have so far benefited from the project include kampala, Mpigi, Wakiso, Mukono, Kayunga, Katakwi, Rukungiri, Jinja, Ntungamo and Kanungu.
