Happy New Year!
This edition of the Q1 ROM Newsletter (October–December 2025) highlights our continued efforts to improve health outcomes, strengthen socioeconomic empowerment, and drive positive social change in Kampala and beyond. Through strong partnerships and community support, we showcase how knowledge, skills development, and social support are transforming lives and building resilient communities. We also feature advocacy initiatives and Orphans and Vulnerable Children (OVC) support interventions aimed at ensuring children remain in school and supported to thrive.
As we step into the New Year, may it bring you prosperity, good health, and peace. At Reach Out Mbuya (ROM), we remain firmly committed to delivering holistic care for vulnerable and underserved communities, moving forward with renewed purpose, strengthened partnerships, and hope for a brighter, healthier future for all.
