KAMPALA – Africell Uganda has on Tuesday, May 5 donated three brand new pickup trucks to help in the fight against COVID-19.

Mr Ziad Daoud, the company CEO, was joined by Ms Irene Kaggwa Sewankambo, the Uganda Communications Commission (UCC) Acting Executive Director, as the brand new Tata vehicles were handed over to the Ministry of Health Permanent Secretary Diana Atwiine.

During the handover of the donation, which also included an assortment of foodstuffs, Mr Daoud said: “Africell cares about the community, and together we will beat the COVID.”

Ms Kaggwa thanked Africell for their “gesture of kindness and togetherness with the Government and people of Uganda in the COVID-19 fight.”

The Ministry of Health tweeted: “On behalf of the National Taskforce, Diana Atwiine received a donation from Africell of 3 brand new Tata Xenon pickups, 1 tonne of posho, 1 tonne of rice and 1 tonne of soya beans to support the COVID-19 response activities.”
