A total of 325 children from the parishes of Ryabiju, Rushango, Sooko and Nyakabungo in Nyamarebe Sub County in Ibanda district have today received clothes and food items from North West Ankole Diocese.

The diocese under this programme donates clothes, food, shoes, soap and beddings to the needy people.

 The distribution of items has taken place at Ryabiju C.O.U headquarters attracting many children together with their parents most of them walking on sticks.

 Rt. Rev. Amos Magezi, the NorthWest Ankole Bishop who witnessed the distribution exercise said that the state of dressing, lack of bed sheets, blankets, food and education of children in the area is alarming.

“I hope the programme will bring a lot of relief and hope to the children together with their parents,” Rt. Rev. Magezi said.

The LC 1 chairperson, Ryabiju cell, Mr. Robert Gashira said that conditions are forcing many children to share beds plus blankets and most of families get one meal daily.
