How City Tycoon Hamis Kiggundu Has Impacted Lives Of Ugandans Through Ham Foundation
City businessman, Hamis Kiggundu aka Ham has not only established businesses to provide jobs to thousands of Ugandans but has also impacted the lives of several underprivileged Ugandans through his Ham Foundation.
Through Ham foundation, the bighearted young tycoon has extended his helping hand to many people in need especially during the Covid-19 Era when he donated millions both in cash and in relief items.
In July 2021, Ham donated UGX 530 million to buy 15,000 COVID-19 vaccines where his employees and tenants used 5000 doses and the remaining 10,000 doses were given out to the citizens of Uganda.
Prior to the above donation, Ham had donated over UGX 100 million in cash towards the food relief distribution program that was targeting vulnerable people affected by the Covid-19 lockdown.
The young tycoon handed over the cash to Prime Minister Dr Ruhakana Rugunda who flagged off the distribution of food relief in Kampala.
Kiggundu later said he was pleased to help the needy during this trying time.
“I call upon those who have the ability to donate anything to the needy to do so. I have made my humble contribution and hopefully, I will deliver more,” Kiggundu said while handing over the donation.
Ham also donated Bicycles, Qurans and Prayer Mats to all the Masaka Greater district Sheiks and Imams in Masaka.
