The Archbishop of Church of Uganda Dr Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu has launched a fundraising campaign to save Church House from being taken by bank over loans.
The Archbishop launched the campaign dubbed ‘Yes We Can!’ on Sunday at All Saints’ Cathedral, Kampala.
“The “Yes, We Can!” fundraising campaign aims to raise 1,000,000 “Love Gifts” of Shs60,000 each to clear the construction loans on Church House,” The Archbishop said.
” Paying off the debt on Church House will enable the Church House to fulfill its original purpose, which is to raise funds for the church’s ministry and for clergy pensions.”
He further noted that Church of Uganda has 13 million members, so if only 1 million members give Shs60,000, the debt can be cleared.
” This year 2021 we are celebrating 60 Years of Self-Governance. So, I am encouraging everyone to give a thanksgiving Love Gift for Church House of 60,000/-. And, today is the 6th day of the 6th month of June, in the 60th year of self-governance. So, I encourage everyone to give a Love Gift of Shs60,000, ” Dr Kaziimba said.
” A dedicated Church House Love Gift account has been opened at Equity Bank. Deposits can be made on the account or through MTN Mobile Money, Airtel Money, or Equity Bank’s banking apps,”he added.
