Although the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has forced us to stay away from our loved ones, colleagues, hobbies and the social life, it has in other ways brought us closer to each other. We have seen politicians striving to come to the rescue of their voters with food and essential items donations, and whether they do it for politics or for humanity, we do not care at the moment.

Another group that has contributed immensely, with limited media coverage because they are not looking for votes (sorry that slipped out), is the CEOs of several companies in Uganda, though their Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiatives.

Led by Chief Mobiliser Vision Group CEO Robert Kabushenga, these corporate companies have donated items to the Ministry of Health, Police, hospitals, and individuals mong others to enhance the fight against COVID-19.
