The Managing Director of Equity Bank Uganda, Anthony Kituuka, has affirmed Equity bank’s commitment to supporting Church of Uganda to achieve its development and self-sustainability agenda.
According to Kituuka, Church of Uganda has excelled greatly in all the projects the Bank has supported and is confident that additional financing will improve more livelihoods and help the Church to sustain itself in the wake of donor cuts.
Kituuka made the remarks on Tuesday 16/01/2024 during the official pastoral visit by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda, The Most Rev Dr Stephen Samuel Kaziimba Mugalu, to Equity Bank Uganda Headquarters at Church House in Kampala.
“Equity Bank is delighted to partner with the Church. Archbishop Kaziimba has boosted business evangelism focussing on the Church’s self-sustainability agenda and initiating a number of projects that we feel we can partner to bring household and community transformation,” Mr. Kituuka noted.
Archbishop Kaziimba who led a team of Directors from the Provincial Secretariat commended Equity Bank for being a reliable and dependable business partner. “Besides being our anchor tenant in Church House, Equity Bank has supported several projects and my team made a number of presentations and proposals on how the Bank can finance a number of several other projects,” Archbishop Kaziimba noted.
The Archbishop was accompanied by Bishop Jackson Matovu, the Chairperson of Uganda Martyrs Museum Development Committee, Mr. Balaamu Muheebwa, the Provincial Treasurer, Rev. Andrew Agaba, the Director of Household and Community Transformation, Rev. Simon Peter Ddembe Lya Yesu, the Director of Mission and Outreach, Rev.
