“We have only one government aided secondary school in our area and that’s Kyarusozi S.S, it doesn’t have A level which has increased number of students not to continue after their O level and parents don’t have money to support them in other privet schools”. Said Kabahenda Margret from Kyarusozi Sub County, Kyenjojo district.

“We have only one health center in Kyarusozi that has no, beds, limited drugs, no mattress, and there is limited health workers, we request our leaders to remember us and plan for improvement of these health centers”. Said Hellen Burungi

“The roads are impassable with so many potholes, this has made transport a big problem we ask the government especially our leaders to keep their promises made during campaigns.” Said Peace Zahura

“Kyamugenyi health center is not in good condition due to limited beds,  no ward for women and drugs are in adequate , same times we are forced  to buy drugs  from private  clinics which is costly, we have informed our leaders but they are not taking any action, thanks to ToroDev for thinking about us , hopefully our leaders will take action”. Said  Omuhereza  Kyakyo Tibenda.

“We call upon the district health inspector and district health officer to help in improving their supervision and monitoring of the health centers and lobby for more  drugs supply  more beds, water  and other infrastructure”. Said Kabasinguzi Betty from Buhaza Kyamugenyi Kyenjojo district.
