A bank used some of its yearly profits to help a group home for girls. Pride Bank gave donations to the Missionaries of the Poor Good Shepherd Home, a place in Mengo Kisenyi that cares for forty five special needs and abandoned girls. The bank's Chief Marketing Officer, Elizabeth Namaganda, said they used one percent of their annual profit for this, following a request from the home about their tough situation.
Namaganda explained that this is a regular thing for the bank, pointing out that they also helped a community in Kiteezi after a fire. She said the goal was to let these kids have a decent holiday celebration. She also asked other companies and people to step up, because the needs there are huge. A caregiver at the home, Brother Daniel Situma, thanked them for the essential supplies, calling it a big relief. He mentioned that many of the residents were literally left at their gate, and while they have stopped accepting new arrivals due to rules, they still care for some adults over thirty who need full-time support. The home really needs basics like diapers and food all year.
