Mugalu lauds Mothers' Union role in community development
The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, The Most Rev Samuel Kazimba Mugalu has commended the role played by Mothers' Union in nation building, community development and bringing up morally upright children that glorify God.
While preaching during the Provincial Mothers' Union thanksgiving Service in his Palace in Namirembe, Kampala, today, Mugalu challenged mothers to protect children by nurturing them in a Godly way, praying for them and being their role models.
He says that when parents become absent to their children's lives, they are nurtured by social media, televisions and other platforms hance leading them to learn bad things which has led many of them into criminal acts.
Meanwhile, Mrs Grace Murengezi, the Provincial Mothers' Union president said that as mothers, they are planning to plant trees at all levels within Church structure and this tree planting activity, preferably fruit trees and is to be launched at the Parish level all over the province.
"We are planning to enhance their fight against gender based violence emphasizing on training, prevention, response and management using Mother’s Union Listen, Observe and Act (MULOA) approach," she added.
Owek. Patrick Luwaga Mugumbule, the Speaker of Buganda Kingdom's Lukiiko (Parliament), who represented the Kingdom's Katikiro (Prime Minister) commended the Mothers Union for championing development at Household level in the fight against poverty and instilling discipline in the communities where they live.
