\nThe initiative was officially unveiled at Theresa Home in Nsambya, where the Acting Executive Director of JMS, Denise Tusiime Mutambi, handed over the first batch of medicines to the home\u2019s management.
\nMutambi described the program as a key component of JMS\u2019s Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) framework, emphasizing the organization\u2019s commitment to community wellbeing.
\n\u201cOur ESG aspirations call us to go beyond business operations and actively invest in the wellbeing of the people we serve, especially the most vulnerable. This program reflects who we are\u2014not just as a partner, but as an institution committed to creating shared value and delivering long-term impact within the communities we serve,\u201d she said.
\nShe commended Theresa Home for its dedication to caring for abandoned children since 2014, noting that the facility provides not only shelter but also a safe and nurturing environment.
\nMutambi explained that the donated medicines were based on the home\u2019s specific requisition and revealed plans to organize medical outreach initiatives to expand access to essential healthcare services in surrounding communities. She reaffirmed JMS\u2019s commitment to providing continuous medical support to the beneficiary homes.
\nThe Administrator of Theresa Home, Nasanga Phiona, expressed gratitude to JMS for the timely support, highlighting the increasing number of vulnerable children under their care.
\n\u201cWe receive many children ranging from one day to three years old, including abandoned infants, those neglected by their families, and others with limited parental support,\u201d she said.
\nNantongo Robinah, a team leader at the facility, called upon organizations and individuals to support their mission of caring for vulnerable children.
\n\u201cWe currently have 21 children aged between four months and three years, supported by 19 caregivers working in shifts. Since the establishment of this center in 2025, over 48 children have passed through our care,\u201d she noted.
