Mechanization is transforming rural livelihoods. Robert Abigaba, a farmer in Kijura Village, opened 16 acres in just 1 day using tractor services from Kijura SACCO Ltd under the Local Economic Growth Support (LEGS) Project. At only UGX 120,000, he saved UGX 840,000 that would have gone to manual labor. Impact: timely planting, increased yields, improved household incomes, and stronger SACCO membership, driving socio-economic transformation. #LEGSProject #MSC #Agriculture #SACCOs @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @MoLGUganda @JustineLumumba @StateHouseUg @NRMOnline @UgandaMediaCent @PRAU_Uganda @newvisionwire @OPMUganda @OWC_ug @mtic_uganda

Today, together with Mohammed Siraj Najubudeen, Islamic Finance Specialist, IsDB, we witnessed real impact at Kanara Tuendelee VSLA in Ntoroko District. Since 2018, the 48-member group has increased incomes, created jobs, and established enterprises—including lake cargo transport and hiring services, as well as tent and Chair hire for events. Chairperson Matia Kisembo notes: “This support has turned our savings into sustainable businesses and dignified livelihoods.” Grateful to GOV & IsDB through the #LEGSProject for transforming lives via #VSLA empowerment. @HonKyeyune @MatiaK5 @mofpedU @BOU_Official @isdb_group @StateHouseUg @UgandaMediaCent @JustineLumumba @NRMOnline @GovUganda @mtic_uganda @MoLGUganda

Yesterday, @UN Secretary-General @antonioguterres delivered a powerful address on #ClimateAction, declaring that "the fossil fuel age is flailing and failing," and that "we are in the dawn of a new energy era." This global call resonates strongly with our work under the #LEGSProject, where we are actively advancing @GlobalGoalsUN 7 – Affordable and Clean Energy through the installation of solar mini grids in underserved communities. Today, poles were delivered at our new site in Kabarole district, Western Uganda. Its completion will bring the total number of solar mini grids already installed to 5. Those up and running are: 1. Aceera (Kumi), Eastern 🇺🇬 – 11kW, 30 homes. 2. Opeeta (Katakwi), Eastern 🇺🇬 – 16kW, 34 homes. 3. Kalyamaholo (Gomba), Central 🇺🇬 – 24kW, 50 homes. 4. Katunguru (Kyenjojo),Western 🇺🇬 – 36kW, 136 homes. @MoLGUganda, @isdb_group, @IsDB_RHKampala, @LLF_fund, @promise @UgandaMediaCent @newvisionwire @StateHouseUg @GovUganda @OPMUganda @UNinUganda
