INTO ONOKUYITHATHA KWELI NQAKU:
- To date Uganda has survived the wrath of COVID-19 with only 1056 cases of which there are 188 active cases, 1023 recoveries and no deaths recorded, thanks to a strict early lockdown and experience in the management of zoonotic diseases ( disease or infection that is naturally transmissible from vertebrate animals to humans.
- The funds are timely as they shall be used to support the ranger's salaries and operational activities of the conservation area, in order to carry out routine patrols as well as monitor the health of the gorillas.
- From its inception over a decade ago, providing simple medical and nutritional relief and psycho-social support to desperate refugees, Pilgrim Africa has found a calling in supporting the COVID-19 relief effort in Wildlife Protected areas managed by Uganda Wildlife Authority.
