    Chief Muzzukulu Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo distributed startup tools, including fishing nets, hair dryers, and poultry chicks, to Wakiso residents on behalf of President Museveni and First Lady Janet Museveni to boost local economies and support small businesses. This initiative aims to provide immediate economic relief while larger government programs face bureaucratic delays, aligning with the NRM's commitment to improving livelihoods.

    Chief Muzzukulu Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, representing President Museveni and First Lady Mama Janet Museveni, distributed startup tools to the local Bazzukulu at Entebbe Muslim Ground.

    The initiative, which attracted thousands of residents, aims to provide immediate economic relief while larger government programs face bureaucratic delays.

    Addressing the enthusiastic crowd, Hajjat Namyalo expressed gratitude for the unwavering support shown to the Office of the National Chairman (ONC) and the National Resistance Movement (NRM) party.

    “As you wait for the government’s poverty alleviation programs, the President and I, along with other well-wishers, have decided to give out tools that can help you start small businesses and improve your livelihoods,” she stated.

    Among the items distributed were fishing nets, water life jackets, gumboots, hair dryers, hair cutting machines, poultry chicks, hoes, sprayers, popcorn and chips frying machines, poultry chicks and their feeds, and many more.

    These tools are intended to help the residents of Wakiso district initiate small-scale businesses and become economically self-reliant.

    Namyalo emphasized the importance of this empowerment drive in bridging gaps until larger programs like the Parish Development Model (PDM), Emyooga, and the Youth Livelihood Funds are fully operational. These programs, though impactful, often face delays due to bureaucratic processes.

    Namyalo assured continuous support for Wakiso residents, promising that the empowerment drive would extend across the entire district, including Busiro, Kasangati, Nansana, and Kira municipalities.

    “Those who have not benefited yet, please be patient. We are coming to your areas soon,” she noted,

    Reaffirming the commitment to reaching every corner of the district.This initiative aligns with President Museveni’s vision of fostering economic independence and resilience among Ugandans.

    It reinforces the NRM’s commitment to improving livelihoods and reducing poverty through practical, immediate interventions. The distribution of tools is seen as a crucial step in empowering individuals to take charge of their economic destinies.

    Local residents expressed their appreciation and optimism about the initiative. Sarah Nakato, a recipient of a sewing machine, shared her excitement:

    “This sewing machine means everything to me. I can now start my tailoring business and support my family.”

    Such testimonials highlight the tangible impact of the empowerment drive on individuals’ lives.The event underscored the necessity of immediate, localized interventions to support economic growth.

    By providing tools directly to the people, the ONC is not only addressing immediate needs but also fostering a culture of self-reliance and entrepreneurship.

    Hajjat Namyalo's efforts were met with widespread acclaim, with many attendees praising the ONC’s proactive approach.

    “This is a clear demonstration of the government’s commitment to the welfare of its citizens,” commented John Lule, a local community leader.

    The empowerment drive is expected to have a ripple effect, stimulating local economies and inspiring other districts to adopt similar initiatives. As the distribution continues across Wakiso, the focus remains on ensuring that every resident has the opportunity to improve their livelihood and contribute to the district's overall economic health.

    The Wakiso empowerment program is a testament to the effectiveness of targeted, immediate action in poverty alleviation.

    As President Museveni’s vision of economic resilience takes shape, initiatives like this pave the way for a more self-sufficient and prosperous Uganda.
