Amber Heart Foundation has recieved a grant of close to $398,344 from Stop TB Partnership’s TB REACH initiative at a ceremony that took place in Ho Chi Mihn City, Vietnam.
“The grant, is in support of activities aimed at finding missing TB patients within the districts of Kampala, Jinja and Mbarara,” the musician announced.
Bebe Cool has been the ambassador in the fight against the killer TB disease.
“Statistics prove that 80,000 Ugandans die of Tuberculosis annually yet this disease is treatable in all government facilities moreover for free. It is also absurd that many of my fellow Ugandans do not know the symptoms of TB and never think to get screened/tested until it is too late and they have passed it on to their loved ones. The Amber Heart Foundation using this grant comes in to feel the gap of awareness and mobilisation of people for testing and treatment.
