Uganda Red Cross Society has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Dfcu Group aimed at strengthening humanitarian action and boosting community resilience across the country.
The signing ceremony took place at the Uganda Red Cross headquarters in Rubaga, Kampala, and was witnessed by Mabel Nandaula, Executive Director of Dfcu Group; Robert Kwesiga, Secretary General of Uganda Red Cross; and Irene Nakasiita, Head of Public Relations, Resource Mobilization and Partnerships at Uganda Red Cross.
Speaking on behalf of Dfcu Group, Mabel Nandaula reaffirmed the bank’s commitment to supporting community development and social impact initiatives.
“At Dfcu Bank, our purpose is transforming lives and business in Uganda. Our partnership with Red Cross reflects our commitment to supporting initiatives that create sustainable impact and strengthen communities across the country,” Nandaula said.
Robert Kwesiga emphasized the strategic importance of partnerships in humanitarian work.
“Collaborations such as this one with Dfcu Group are vital in enabling us to reach more vulnerable communities with life-saving support. By working together, we can mobilize resources, strengthen preparedness, and ensure communities are better equipped to respond to emergencies and humanitarian challenges,” Kwesiga said.
Uganda Red Cross has recently signed MoUs with several organizations to maximize impact in crisis response, increase efficiency, reduce duplication, and foster sustainability.
By pooling resources, expertise, and local knowledge, these partnerships enhance the relevance and effectiveness of humanitarian interventions while building local capacities to manage future disasters.
The partnership between Uganda Red Cross and Dfcu Group reflects a shared commitment by both institutions to contribute to national development and improve the lives of vulnerable communities across Uganda.
