Uganda Baati participates in the Rotary Cancer Run to promote cancer awareness and health initiatives.

In a resounding demonstration of unity and shared purpose, Uganda Baati proudly announces its participation in the upcoming Rotary Cancer Run. This strategic alliance underscores our unwavering commitment to corporate social responsibility and resonates profoundly with our health-centric endeavors.

Uganda Baati's participation in the Rotary Cancer Run embodies our steadfast belief that a healthy populace is the bedrock of societal progress. Our longstanding commitment to corporate social initiatives underscores our dedication to nurturing the holistic well-being of the communities we dutifully serve.

Ian Rumanyika, Head of External and Corporate Affairs at Uganda Baati, eloquently encapsulates our ethos: "At Uganda Baati, our roofs shelter more than homes; they shelter hopes and dreams. Our involvement in the Rotary Cancer Run mirrors our dedication to protecting lives and fostering well-being. As we prepare to lace up our running shoes, let us remember that each stride we take echoes in the lives of cancer patients. Our participation in this event metamorphoses into a symphony of support reverberating far beyond the finish line."

The Rotary Cancer Run, propelled by its noble mission to amass awareness and funding for cancer research, treatment, and support, harmoniously resonates with our core values. We ardently acknowledge the symbiotic relationship between a salubrious environment and the vitality of lives. By actively engaging in this event, Uganda Baati assumes the mantle of not just a supporter of life-saving endeavors but also an advocate for the critical importance of preventive measures against environmental factors that could cast enduring shadows on public health.

In Uganda alone, a staggering 33,000 individuals receive a cancer diagnosis annually, with a mere 7,400 able to access care at the Uganda Cancer Institute. On a global scale, a heart-wrenching 10 million lives are claimed by cancer each year, predominantly in low- and middle-income countries, constituting around 70% of all cancer-related fatalities. With this somber reality in mind, we propel our collective efforts towards igniting positive change.

The barriers to cancer care identified by the Uganda Cancer Institute – encompassing gender norms, poverty and socio-economic constraints, geographical divides, and age-related disparities – are grim reminders of the gap in cancer care accessibility. This gap not only separates nations but also segregates rural and urban communities, highlighting the imperative nature of initiatives like the Rotary Cancer Run.

As the Rotary Cancer Run draws near, we extend an earnest invitation to all to join us in this transformative odyssey. Together, we shall fortify our ranks, embody the tenacity of hope, and construct a future illuminated by the radiance of well-being.

Join us at the starting line as we embark on a collective journey for a cause that transcends mere philanthropy – a quest for a healthier, more resilient future.
