The debt being paid amounts to shs48 billion. the Archbishop, Dr. Stephen Kaziimba Mugalu, recently asked Christians to contribute at least Shs 60,000 to help them pay up this debt.
The Chief Executive Officer of Next Media, Kin Kariisa in a statement said they are always happy helping out C.O.U.
“For this particular campaign, with consideration of the magnitude of the cause at hand as stated above, we are offering up to Shs100,000,000 (one Hundred Million Uganda Shillings) worth of advertising across all the Next Media Services platforms to the Church of Uganda as per our rate card catering for promotions, TV adverts, mentions, Squeeze Backs, and Digital support.”

“We cannot overstate our commitment to working with the Church of Uganda to further the development and overall betterment of our motherland, Uganda.”
The church got the loan from Equity Bank. Apparently, the loan played a great role to see that the church house building come to completion. Some people however say church authorities misused the money. Otherwise, the debt wouldn’t have been that huge. Meanwhile all this negativity has not stopped Archbishop Steven Mugalu from moving forward with the campaign.

![[dropcap]A[/dropcap] section of women in Bugongo parish and Nawangaiza parish in Nawandala Sub County, Iganga District have decried the near-impossible terms set for them to access GROW funds. They have now petitioned their woman member of parliament for Iganga Hon. Kauma Sauda Alibaawo to ask the government for revised terms and conditions. This is to enable them to benefit from the program. The disgruntled women accuse the implementers of the program of charging the money. They are also asking for their land titles and land agreements. They said that such properties are governed by their husbands. These, therefore want the government through their woman MP to intervene and revise the requirements for one to benefit. The women were on Wednesday at Namabwere primary school in Nawandala Sub County. They had gathered in their respective groups to receive over 300 chickens from Hon Alibaawo in her campaign to improve the livelihood of women in Iganga district. Each group was given 50 chicken as start-up capital in their journey to prosperity. Read what some leaders said; Ms Naigambi Lydia from Nawandala Trading Centre says, “They solicited money from us through opening bank accounts and depositing Shs80,000. They also asked for land titles and land agreements from us yet we don’t have such things. I was informed that I needed to have a business with a capital of Shs4m yet my capital was very small.” The chairperson Kisoboka Saving Group in Nawandala Ms. Nakagolo Faith said they were not able to join the program. This is given the many conditions attached. She also asked their woman MP to raise their concerns to the relevant offices. The MP condemned the mode of implementation of the program. She cited that it has turned to benefit the well-off class of women other than the intended group. She further asked the government to intervene saying the current strings attached to the programme are very tight to accommodate a common woman. GROW project is a Government of Uganda initiative that arose out of the need to respond to the needs of women entrepreneurs. This is especially those who want to grow their businesses, sustain their self-employment and create more jobs.
