In a heartening act of generosity, Speaker of Parliament, Anita Annet Among, has stepped forward to assist a couple grappling with the challenges of raising newly born triplets.
The family, facing financial difficulties, received a significant start-up capital of ten million shillings from the speaker during a meeting this morning in Parliament. The gathering was also attended by Maria Matembe and other members of parliament, all pledging their support to the struggling family.
It was revealed that Mt Kalema Bashir and Sofia Kayaga had five children before being blessed with a set of triplets late last year.
The Speaker, well-known for her advocacy for community welfare, expressed genuine concern for the struggling family and acknowledged the immediate need for assistance. Ms. Among explained that the ten million shillings grant aims to ease the financial burden on the family, providing them with the means to establish a sustainable source of income.
“This small token is meant to empower you to establish a business that will provide a stable environment for the upbringing of your triplets,” she conveyed.
During the briefing, the Speaker emphasized the significance of community support and solidarity during times of need, urging other leaders to extend their assistance to those in need within their communities.
The Speaker’s compassionate response to the plight of this struggling family underscores a dedication to social responsibility and promotes a sense of unity within the nation. This gesture is likely to serve as inspiration for others in influential positions to contribute to the betterment of society, reinforcing the notion that collective efforts can bring about a meaningful difference in the lives of those facing adversity.
