Children are not going to school. Churches are locked. Many people are not working. At least all of us by now have lost a relative to this pandemic.
It is so absurd, the first thing you see in the morning online is “rest in peace” after someone has succumbed to this virus.
It’s like everyone has resigned to this virus and they don’t know about tomorrow. We now know how the virus is spread. We know what to do to protect ourselves from the virus.
The numbers are increasing. We also know that the virus is among us now more than ever.
Despite all this, we still need to live. We can’t live in fear for the rest of all the time. Once in a while, we need to hear from those who have survived Covid.
The stories of those who have beat the virus. These testimonies are very important because not only do they make us strong, but also those who are with covid now know there is life after the virus.
The Ministry if Health can make this possible. They can work with the media to give some hope to the people. Otherwise many people are dying of depression because the just don’t know what to do.
The Uganda National Drug Authority approving Covidex is also good and shows we are heading somewhere.

![[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.
