Hon. Roland Ndyomugyenyi Bish, the Rukiga County legislator, has called upon women entrepreneurs to seize opportunities offered by government initiatives like the GROW program to enhance their livelihoods and increase household income. His remarks came during a fundraising event for the construction of All Saints Church Muhanga, where he served as the chief guest.
While addressing the gathering, Hon. Bish emphasized the critical role of women in participating in government initiatives. He encouraged them to engage actively in programs like GROW, which provide low and favorable interest rates on loans, making financial assistance more accessible for entrepreneurial ventures.
“I urge all women entrepreneurs to take advantage of these programs, as they are designed to uplift your households and empower you economically,” Hon. Bish stated.
In addition to empowering women, Hon. Bish called on Christians to unite and collaborate in building their communities, highlighting the significance of collective efforts in achieving sustainable development and spiritual growth.

Rev. Can. Turyatunga underscored the importance of gratitude, urging the congregation to thank God for His provisions and to trust in His guidance as they utilize their resources for His honor.
