The Archbishop of Kampala Archdiocese, Dr Paul Ssemogerere, has tasked the steering committee for the Ssebasumba Annual Appeal Fund (SAAF) with mobilizing Catholics and well-wishers to raise at least Shs1 billion to support projects aimed at improving the lives of vulnerable communities within the Archdiocese.
The SAAF is an annual initiative that collects contributions from the laity to assist the Archbishop in financing various projects designed to restore hope to vulnerable communities in Kampala.
During the official launch of the 2024 SAAF at the Uganda Martyrs Namugongo Shrine in Wakiso Vicariate on Sunday, Dr Ssemogerere noted that there are approximately 2 million Catholics in the Kampala Archdiocese. If each member contributed Shs2,000, they could raise Shs2 billion.

"Kabale diocese is small and rural but when they came up with a similar initiative, they collected Shs6b for their diocese. The Archdiocese of Kampala is bigger, let us combine efforts and raise funds to support various projects in the archdiocese," he appealed to thousands of the faithful from different catholic parishes within Kampala Archdiocese who turned up for the launch.
