He said: “This is also a way of appreciating our staff who have sacrificed a lot to to deliver quality services to the people in need mostly in the hard to reach areas; more importantly, to encourage friendly relationship and strengthen bond among workers present”.
Stressing the organization’s commitment to sustain the initiative, he added: “Developing Lives, Livelhood & Nutrition –Uganda (DLLN – Uganda) was founded in 1993 as Dolenffermio – Uganda with a Mission “’End Poverty, Hunger, Improve Health & Education, making Communities more sustainable as they combated Climate Change.’’, I started with six colleagues with limited resources and many of them desserted us because we hand no funders and most of the projects we wrote were rejected, currently we have a staff pool of over 40 people and we are still expanding, that shows how far the initiative has gone. We plan to continue with it as long as long as we are still alive, the feedback has been quite impressive and there is no better way to get the best of one’s employees than to make them happy, which is what we doing today”.
