Ruparelia Foundation, Cedric Babu Embark on Community Tours to Fight COVID-19

Ruparelia Foundation in conjunction with Cedric Babu aspiring MP for Kampala Central have embarked on a tour of Kampala’s central parishes of Kamwokya, Mengo, Kagugube, Bukesa, Nakivubo, Shauriyako, Industrial Area, Kisenyi and Old Kampala.

The purpose of the tour is not only to show love and support the Vulnerable communities during these trying times of coronavirus, but to also sensitize the local community on what precautions and measures they should take to protect them and their families.

“We are going through a difficult period right now. This is the time for us to show collective responsibility. We have to unite and pull together as communities and follow the guidelines as set by Ministry of Health if we are to get though the crisis," Babu said.

Jyotsna Ruparelia co-founder of Ruparelia Foundation says coronavirus does not discriminate against social class, religion or ethnicity. It simply kills. This is the time when we all must know – right from kindergarten, going school children to us grownup adults and grandparents.

"This is not the time to be ignorant about the virus. We cannot afford to be ignorant," she said.

Joystna Ruparelia and Cedric Babu will be joined by LC one chairpersons of each division and Doctors will also address the communities on coronavirus.

Basing on their catchphrase “Enriching Lives Together”, Ruparelia Foundation has for the past seven years worked together with several people championing positive change in different communities across the country to achieve our goal of having improved livelihoods in society.

The Foundation works to improve a solution directly with strategic partners from the business, government and non-profit sector. Their focus areas include; health care, education, sports, wildlife and environment conservation, disaster relief, startup and general welfare.
