Альянс такси и автобусов Уганды выделил 10 млн шиллингов на концерт певицы Грейс Накимера

Kampala, Uganda — The Union Transport Alliance (UNION) has thrown its weight behind singer Grace Nakimera's much-anticipated return to the stage with a Shs10 million sponsorship boost ahead of her 'Power of Grace Live Concert' scheduled for September 11 at Kampala Serena Hotel. The announcement came during the high-profile launch of a strategic partnership between the Union Transport Alliance and the United Informal Sector Forum (UISF) at Hotel Africana, an event that brought together representatives from all 18 informal-sector categories, UNION leadership, stakeholders and the media. Under the theme "Tuliwamu - Building Uganda's Invisible Economy Together", the partnership aims to use the combined membership of both organisations to dominate the market, attract investment, create jobs and unlock affordable financing. Nakimera, who graced the event and was overcome with joy, received the Shs10 million boost for her live concert. She will be marking one of her biggest performances since she stepped away from the music scene. "I am deeply humbled to be joined by Union Transport Alliance for my concert. You have not only supported me as an artist but you have also stood with the hundreds of lives we touch through the Feed The Streets Foundation programs. Thank you so much, Mr Fred Ssenoga (CEO Union) and the entire UTA team, for believing in this vision of love and giving back," she said.
