“Collecting over 100M on day one is such a good start. Our first phase is to secure a land, if we get that, it will be easy for us to see how we start building on it.”
At the first phase, the federation needs at least five billions and the two billions are to secure land, but to have a full complex, the federation needs over 36 billion shillings.
At the same event, the federation unveiled the new kit for She Cranes and the replica jersey for fans.
Joan Nampugu, the She Cranes assistant captain called upon all Ugandans to support them and sports at large through buying She Cranes’ replicas.
“I thank the companies and individuals that responded to the cause and request more to come on board. This facility won’t benefit only netball but also other indoor games and the country at large,” Nampungu noted adding.
“Come sport us even through buying the replica jerseys, we have them in different colours, so better come support us.”
Pastor Bujingo and his good friend Suzan Makula pledged 10M, Eco Bank also presented the same offer on the table with Gaming Regulatory Board and nine betting companies contributing 34.2M.
