Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong> <\/span>The Manager of the Office of the National Chairman (ONC), Hajjat Hadijah Namyalo, has engaged and empowered groups of ghetto youths from across Kampala\u2019s informal settlements in a drive aimed at improving livelihoods and recognizing their political support.<\/b><\/p>\n

Speaking at the ONC headquarters in Kyambogo, Namyalo applauded the youths for their continued backing of President Museveni.<\/p>\n

\u201cYour resilience and loyalty have not gone unnoticed. You have stood firm in support of President Museveni, and today we are here to support you in improving your lives,\u201d Namyalo said.<\/p>\n

The event brought together youth groups from several ghettos, many of whom have long faced unemployment and economic hardship.<\/p>\n

Namyalo also extended appreciation to businesswoman Maria Markh Honda for her continued contribution to empowerment programs.<\/p>\n

\u201cSince her appointment, Maria has been a pillar in supporting our initiatives. Her generosity, especially towards the youth, is helping us drive real change on the ground,\u201d she noted.<\/p>\n

As part of the initiative, 10 brand-new motorcycles were handed over to selected youth groups to support income-generating activities such as boda boda transport.<\/p>\n

Addressing the gathering, Maria Markh Honda revealed the value behind the donation and her motivation.<\/p>\n

\u201cEach motorcycle costs over shs. 5 million, but this is not about the money\u2014it is about transforming lives,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

\u201cI am inspired by the President\u2019s vision to uplift Ugandans from poverty, and I believe we all have a role to play.\u201d<\/p>\n

She further urged the beneficiaries to use the motorcycles responsibly.<\/p>\n

\u201cUse these opportunities wisely. Let these motorcycles be a starting point for your economic independence.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a parallel effort to support vulnerable women, including sex workers, Namyalo donated sewing machines with full accessories to enable them to start small businesses.<\/p>\n

Beneficiary groups such as Kiwa Group, Dancers Group, and Kabalagala Women Group each received sewing machines to support tailoring enterprises.<\/p>\n

Youth groups engaged in mechanics from areas including Ndeeba, Kabalagala, and Kisenyi also received toolboxes to strengthen their work.<\/p>\n

Namyalo defended her outreach initiatives against critics, warning against individuals she described as exploitative.<\/p>\n

\u201cEmpowering vulnerable communities should not be politicized. There are mafias who want to use these youths for their own gain, but our focus is genuine empowerment,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

The ONC initiative is part of a broader strategy to promote self-reliance and improve the livelihoods of urban youth and marginalized groups across Kampala.<\/p>\n
