As Ugandans prepare for the festive season normally characterized by busying desired items and good eating, some corporate organizations are helping the less fortunate to be in festive mood during the season.

Star Times Digital Television Company has given out assorted items worth 5 million shillings to the Mapera Bakateyamba a home of poor and disadvantaged people in Nalukolongo.

Star Times TV Marketing Manager Simon Arinaitwe says as a corporate company that draws profits from the community, it is obliged to give back to the people especially at this festive season where values of love and sharing are emphasized.

Arinaitwe handed over assorted items including food, detergents, and a television set with Star Times Subscription for ten years to help in the running of the home of the disadvantaged people.

The Assistant Administrator at Bakateyamba Home, Sister Hellen Kobushinge said that the assistance comes in handy because the facility is limited by funds to cater for a big number of disadvantaged people with different forms of disabilities.

The Mapera Bakateyaba Home that was started by Cardinal Nsubuga in 1977 under the Catholic Church currently caters for 80 elderly, clipped and poor people.
