While commemorating the World Children’s Day, Hariss International Limited also known as RIHAM, in partnership with the Rotary Club of Kasangati, officially launched the Completion of Shared Love Junior School – MAKUKUBA on Friday 19th November 2021. The school which accommodates about 150 children from Primary one to seven was established under the campaign initiative, “Adopt a village”. Hariss, partnering with Rotary in 2015, facilitated the construction of two classroom blocks in the school which has transformed the community of Makukuba and acts as a multi-purpose facility i.e. enabling vocational studies, and medical welfare among others. In the same regard, Hariss announced the adoption of a new school in the neighbouring village; Gonve.
Hariss commissioned the new partnership by laying the first brick to emulate the contribution of two classroom blocks at Grace School Gonve. The youth in both villages endure long distance movements of over 5 to 10 kilometres to access education facilities. This coupled with risks of abuse, child sacrifices & adverse weather conditions, the future of the youth is put to question.
Hariss Public Relations Manager Racheal Luwedde said “It is important for Hariss to redirect the funds generated from the support of the community back into the community. The company’s objective is to not only provide quality food and beverages but to also see the holistic growth of communities in our country.” Hariss has injected over 100 million into both projects.
Speaking at the event, Mr Chadi. K. Ahmad, the Director Hariss International confirmed that the growth of RIHAM has enabled them to empower communities across the country. “Community transformation is at the core of who we are and what we do. This will not be the last project. There we will be more to come. Hariss International Limited are the proud manufacturers of Oner Fruit Juice, Krystal Natural Mineral Water, Skyview, an assortment of biscuits & many more!
