Regardless of the economy, Muslims have pledged to recognize this day because of how important it is. Normally, this day starts with prayers at 8am after which they slaughter animals.
Muslim leaders have encouraged every Muslim to make sure they participate in this Eid Al Adha. No matter the issue, at least every Muslim has been encouraged to have an animal to slaughter.
Usually, Muslims share with several people because it accords them blessings as they do so. This is not only limited to Muslims because they go ahead to share with non-Muslims as well.
In Arua, the Muslim leaders say this day is significant, as this is the day Muslims feed the poor. They are going to slaughter cows, and they expect to feed about 1,052 families.
Given the economic situation at hand, the help is truly helpful for a number of families because many may not afford to participate in this day.
Most of the Muslim families had given up in recognizing this day because of the economic situation in the country. Everything is currently so expensive because of the hiked prices in transportation due to fuel prices.
However, leaders have encouraged every one to ensure they participate even if it means coming together with different families.

![[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.
