    Kampala, Uganda: South Korea through Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (Kotra) has pledged to continue supporting Uganda towards the transformation of the country and providing clean water.

    The pledge was made last month as the two countries celebrated 60 years of cooperation.

    The items are meant to help provide clean and safe water to patients at health facilities as well as rural communities in an attempt to minimize the risks of waterborne diseases.

    During the celebrations, Korean company Jerrybag pledged to donate Jerrycan bags that can be used by more than 1,000 children in some less privileged backgrounds in Uganda to carry water and therefore ease the burden they endure from the routine exercise.

    In addition, 500 UV Water Sterilizers (LADIS) made by tAB was donated to health centers and rural communities in Uganda during the event. LADIS is meant to help provide clean and safe water to patients at the health facilities as well as rural communities in an attempt to minimize the risks of waterborne diseases.

    tAB is a social venture startup that hopes for a clean, disease-free tomorrow for everyone.

    Kotra said that the main aim of the Portable UV Water Sterilizer is to promote equal rights for safe drinking water and support clean water and hygiene.

    200 UV Water Sterilizers were donated to Kakiri Health Center III and was accepted by the Kakiri Sub – County Chair Mr Tebandeke John Bosco and Kakiri Doctor In-Charge Dr Juliet Nassuna.

    According to Dr Nassuna, diarrhea remains a major concern especially among children who are easily affected by drinking dirty water.

    “Therefore, having these portable UV Water Sterilizers will significantly support in reducing the number of cases related to dirty drinking water, he said.

    The remaining 300 UV Water Sterilizers were donated to Africa Future Fellowship a local NGO and was accepted by Country Director, Lee Jung Woong.

    Through these donations, tAB hopes that the risks of waterborne diseases will be minimized and access to clean and safe water will benefit the entire community.

    During the event, South Korea, which has been a developmental partner for Uganda for the last 60 years also held a ceremony to share and demonstrate their culture to the Ugandan community at the same time spread and grow the sport of Taekwondo in Uganda.

    The sport has developed in very many parts of the country where the Korea community is helping in the development of the country as a whole.

    Korea has also had several development programs and projects and grants they have offered the Ugandan Government in terms of Aid and development support.

    The Kukkiwon Taekwondo Demonstration team together with Kumi University taekwondo team demonstrated the positive and vibrant diplomatic relations between Kore and Uganda at a function held on May 29-30 at the Victoria Hall at Serena Hotel.

    Diplomats, the Deputy Speaker of Parliament Thomas Tayebwa and NCS Chairman Ambrose Tasobya were in the audience as the Kukkiwon Demo team and Kumi University demonstrated several taekwondo techniques and styles that lit up the hall. The Kumi University Taekwondo Team is handled by Master David Hong.
