Singer Angella Katatumba’s NGO AKDF wins Charity Of The Year Award

Singer Angella Katatumba’s NGO, Angella Katatumba Development Foundation has won the Charity of the year award at the South African based Starqt Awards. The charity organization started off the year in high gear on the 15th of January 2016, with Angella personally donating 10,000,000 UGX to Mulago National Referral Hospital. The money was used to buy a Phototherapy machine and a Syringe Pump. These machines are saving the lives of 60 premature babies every week at Mulago Hospital.

Three weeks after her donation in February 2016, the UN officially recognized AKDF with the UN Secretary General Ban Ki-Moon inviting Angella to attend the first ever UN World Humanitarian Summit in Istanbul Turkey.

More so, on 4th April, 2016 the Uganda Bikers partnered with the “Mulago Yaffe” campaign and they appointed Angella to be their ambassador to help in the fight against cancer through their short and long motorbike rides in and outside Uganda.

Then in May 2016, Angella was appointed to be the face of Uganda Cancer Insititute.

On July 1st 2016 Angella held a successful VIP Mulago Yaffe concert at the Kampala Serena Hotel, where she then donated 15,000,000 UGX of the concert proceeds to the Uganda Cancer Institute to continue the fight against cancer.

She has also won a number of awards this year for her humanitarian work;
