Nkozi marathon

By Our Reporter

On Saturday, hordes of runners took part in the Nkozi Marathon 2018 that kicked off at the Equator in Kayabwe and ended at Uganda Martyrs University Nkozi. The run was graced by Prince David Wassajja, a member of the Buganda Royal family as the Chief Runner and various friends of Nkozi Hospital.

Speaking at the marathon, Prince Wasajja appealed to the public to keep supporting “Bulungi Bwansi” initiatives like these, adding that the public has a role to play in societal development that shouldn’t be ignored. He also noted that government will only support these initiatives after the public shows interest.

The Nkozi Marathon was supported by Movit Products Limited who invested over Ugx 30 million  in  providing running Kits, Sound, media and several other goodies.

According to Kitenda Robert the PR, Media and Advertising Manager Movit Products Limited, Movit has supported this initiative for three years and its growing bigger each year and has assured the public that with their continued support, Movit will keep pushing and supporting this cause.

Proceeds from the marathon will go towards construction of an emergency accident trauma center at Nkozi Hospital which is estimated to cost Ugx 2.8b with equipment worth Ugx 1.6b. The work of building this trauma center was initiated in 2016 as an initiative from the friends of Nkozi hospital and the Nkozi hospital administration.

Over the years this initiative has been supported by several companies by the Catholic Church, Buganda Kingdom, Rotary Uganda, Parliament of Uganda, Movit Products Limited, Jude Color Solutions among several other entities.

This year, Movit Products Limited made a contribution of UGX 27 Million towards building the emergency and accident unit.
