“Addressing teenage pregnancy in Uganda is both a social and economic challenge. Many girls who become mothers during their teenage years never complete primary school, limiting their opportunities and affecting their future livelihoods. We must therefore work together to keep girls in school and give them opportunities to acquire skills and participate in the economy.” - His Royal Highness Isebantu William Gabula at the Health Promotion and Disease Prevention Conference.

PPH (severe bleeding after childbirth) remains a leading cause of maternal mortality. Today’s run is all about raising funds for a critical cold storage facility at the Mengo Rotary Blood Bank to ensure life-saving blood is always available when a mother needs it most.
