ALL THE BEST JULIANA NANTABA!
It was an opportune moment for residents of Bamutakude in
Mukono District to express their grievances against the
investors carrying out stone quarry activity in their area. This
platform organised by a team from CEHURD had local leaders,
police and residents of surrounding districts share and forge a
way forward for the long held grudge.
On Thursday 20th ,over
36 students from 4
different universities
converged at CEHURD.
These students are
committee members of
student led health clubs
established by
CEHURD in their
universities and this was
platform for them
Ms. Juliana was granted a chance to go pursue a Masters
Degree in Health Law, at George town University in
Washington DC. She will be returning to the organisation to
further pursue social justice in health, once her studies are
through. We wish you the best of luck Ms. Juliana.

The resident who, over 50 in number, expressed their
dissatisfaction with the local leaders who they claim never
followed up on the pledge to settle the matter, but the team
from CEHURD managed to calm them down and informed that
the matter is being followed up with a case filed in court.
It is going to be one long year
without Ms. Juliana Nantaba, an
officer attached to Community
Empowerment program at
CEHURD.
Management at CEHURD
believe in growth and career
development for employees
hence allowing such
opportunities.
