Movit Products has announced a contribution of Ugx 20 million towards the annual Kabaka Birthday Run.
Organized by the Buganda Kingdom, the Run is an annual event held to celebrate the birthday of His Majesty Ronald Mwenda Mutebi II, the Kabaka of Buganda Kingdom.
This year, the event will be held under the theme, “Men Against AIDS to save the girl child” and was officially launched at the Bulange — Mengo gardens on Thursday.
The Katikkiro of Buganda, Owek. Charles Peter Mayiga in his address expressed the kingdom’s gratitude to all the associates and partners who have committedly joined the rest of Buganda in celebration of the Kabaka’s birthday each year, and called upon more to be a part.
“We are elated to have you join us today as we launch the much-anticipated Kabaka Birthday Run in celebration of Our King’s birth-date which occurs every year on April 13th. Your partnership goes a long way in enabling us contribute to a number of causes that remain pertinent to the well-being of our communities,” he observed.
“This year’s contributions will be going towards the fight against AIDs to save the girl child. To do this effectively, it is necessary that we have the right and like-minded partners on board for maximum impact.” He added.
Connie Nankya, the Communications and Corporate Affairs Manager at Movit Products said, “This year, we are happy to be a partner through our contribution of Ush. 20,000,000 towards the celebrations and run respectively. We believe that when we join hands in the fight against AIDs we shall continuously reduce on the number of infections across all avenues. As an entity we value such forums that extend the grand opportunity for us to speak to a gender that remains so dear to us and in this specific case, the girl child.”
“We pledge our commitment to support and rally behind the Buganda Kingdom in ensuring that we achieve our goal, which is captured in the theme for the Kabaka’s Birthday Run: Men Against Aids to save the girl child,” added Nankya.
