Africa-Press – Uganda. <\/strong><\/span>Tororo Cement Industry has contributed Shs100 million to Olympic gold medalist Joshua Cheptegei to support the completion of a sports training center in Kapchorwa.<\/b><\/p>\n

At the handover ceremony, the company\u2019s Chief Executive Officer, Mr Gagarin Morgan, stated that this contribution is part of the company’s broader commitment to supporting sports.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis contribution adds to the Shs100 million we donated in 2021 to aid the fundraising efforts for this world-class facility, equipped with state-of-the-art fitness equipment,\u201d Mr. Morgan said.<\/p>\n

He praised Cheptegei for his achievements, noting, \u2018\u2019You have put Uganda on the World map and we are proud of you because I come from a country that has a population of over 1.4 billion people but we have never worn a medal.\u2019\u2019<\/p>\n

Mr Morgan expressed the company\u2019s hopes, stating, \u201cOur goal is to help ensure that young athletes have access to top-quality training facilities, enabling them to compete favorably in international competitions.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cheptegei expressed his gratitude, saying he is excited about building partnerships with supportive organisations like Tororo Cement.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe construction is currently 80 percent complete, and I hope the facility will be finished by the end of the year,\u201d Cheptegei said. \u201cI am at a loss for words to express my thanks to Tororo Cement. This kind of support is what we expect from our investors.\u201d<\/p>\n
