A Ugandan non-governmental organisation based in Nansana, Wakiso district, giving all-round support and education to orphans in the area has marked 25 years of humanitarian services to Ugandans.
Ashinaga Uganda works in collaboration with Ashinaga Japan and has in the period of its existence supported over 800 children, some of whom have been awarded opportunities for specialized training in Japan.
The function was graced by the Japanese Ambassador to Uganda Sasayama Takuya who expressed his embassy’s continued support to Ashinaga Uganda. Taguya appealed to all stakeholders to bring on board other less privileged children for support.
He expressed hope that with the establishment of the Japanese embassy in Kampala independent from Nairobi, services will be easier to bring to more Ugandan children.
The Director for Ashinaga Uganda Nandawula Dianah was happy to declare that since the beginning of interaction with their Japanese counterparts, a lot of headway has been made by way of giving hope to former disadvantaged children in Nansana.
Nandawula appealed to caretakers of children in communities to embrace the role of bringing up children in an upright manner so that they do not grow up as a nuisance to the public.
Nansana Mayor Ssalongo Joseph Matovu who went through the association for his education, thanked the Japanese for their assistance, particularly for the firefighting truck recently donated to Nansana Municipality.
Outlining the performance of Ashinaga Uganda, a worker and former beneficiary of the team Ronald Lubega said they are charged with children from the nine zones in Nansana Municipality, whom he said are counselled and provided with education and other basic human requirements.
He said many have been educated here and in Japan, and asked the children not to lose courage because of their disadvantaged situation, noting that there is someone out there ready to come to their rescue.
