As part of their community outreach, Centenary Bank Fort Portal Branch has extended support to Tooro Babies Home, offering care and assistance to the children.
Caroline Oshabe, the Fort Portal Branch Manager, yesterday described the visit as part of their responsibility to reach out to vulnerable communities, especially orphans who are in constant need of support.
She explained that the team brought along donations including food items such as Nana Milk, diapers, and dustbins for garbage collection, among other essentials.
More support needed
After touring the Babies Home, Ms. Oshabe appealed for continued support in the form of donations, noting that the children’s growth and well-being largely depend on the generosity of people both within and beyond the community.
Ruth Tumusiime, the warden of Tooro Babies Home, commended the Centenary Bank team for their thoughtfulness, emphasizing that the donations greatly contribute to the welfare of the children.
She further noted that the home currently accommodates 50 children, which is its maximum capacity, and called for physical, emotional, and financial support from well-wishers.
Located in the heart of Fort Portal City, Tooro Babies Home is a nonprofit organization providing residential care to children in need, including orphans and abandoned children.
