“We have received enormous positive feedback from women and men about you. They say the keynote address has sparked untapped emotions and it has generated conversations on the position of women and Karamoja in Uganda.
The conversations are taking place in small circle of groups, families, including on social media. We won’t stop saying thank you for the quality piece of information.”
