Budada District landslide victims have received relief worth Shs10 million from Unilever Uganda. The products that included blue band, soap and loaves of bread were handed over to Uganda Red Cross yesterday at Unilever offices in Kampala.

Unilever employees have also donated clothes and Shs5 millon to the victims. “Bududa people have lost everything and we feel that it is our duty to come to their rescue at this time of need,” Uniliver Managing Dirctor, George Inholo said.

He said the landslides have caused distress to the entire country through lost lives, homes and property, therefore the need to step in and make a contribution that will add value to their lives. Uganda Red Cross officials asked other organisations to follow suit.
