Sisaala West MP - Mohammed Adams Sukparu Presenting items to Beneficiaries

The Member of Parliament for Sisaala West and Deputy Minister of Communication, Digital Technology and Innovations Honorable Mohammed Adams Sukparu, has distributed 8,000 mini bags of rice (5kg each) and 4,000 pieces of wax print to more than 4,000 widows across his constituency.

The presentation ceremony, held at the Sisaala West District Assembly in Gwollu, was marked by emotional scenes as beneficiaries received the essential items. Addressing the gathering, Hon. Sukparu revealed that his commitment stems from deeply personal experience.

“As a son of a widow, I have witnessed firsthand the hardships and societal challenges widows endure. Their resilience in the face of adversity is both humbling and inspiring,” the MP stated. “This support is not merely a donation; it is a duty born from empathy and a shared journey.”

Hon. Sukparu disclosed that this intervention is part of a structured initiative he launched one year ago, aimed specifically at alleviating the plight of widows in Sisaala West. The program provides both immediate nutritional support and materials for economic empowerment, as the wax print can be used for sewing and trading.

Looking beyond the current distribution, the Deputy Minister issued a clarion call for collaborative action. He urged key stakeholders, including traditional leaders, businesses, non-governmental organizations, and development partners within and outside the district, to join forces in creating a sustainable support system for widows.

“ I cannot shoulder this responsibility. I am appealing to all individuals and institutions of goodwill to partner with us. Together, we can extend more meaningful, lasting support to these courageous women and ensure they live with dignity,” Hon. Sukparu emphasized.
