Housing Finance Bank has reaffirmed its commitment to community development by announcing a UGX 100 million contribution towards the upcoming 2025 NSSF Kampala Hills Run, scheduled for Sunday, 12th October 2025 at Kololo Independence Grounds.

Now in its second year of partnership with the National Social Security Fund (NSSF) on this impactful initiative, the Bank is once again stepping up to support efforts aimed at upgrading public primary school infrastructure across Uganda. The goal for this year’s run is ambitious: to raise UGX 1.5 billion, which will fund renovations in 10 public schools nationwide, improving learning conditions for thousands of children.

Last year’s edition saw significant progress, with the construction of classroom blocks in eight schools, directly benefitting over 10,000 learners. Organizers hope to build on this momentum with even greater reach and impact in 2025.

Speaking at the official launch event, Mr. Mugabi Michael, Managing Director of Housing Finance Bank, emphasized the transformative potential of the Run:

“This Run is not just a race; it’s a movement of hope, unity, and transformation. At Housing Finance Bank, we believe every child deserves a safe space to learn, dream, and thrive. Our support reflects a promise to the next generation and a commitment to building a brighter, more resilient Uganda.”

The 21-kilometre route, which winds through Kampala’s scenic hills, serves more than just fitness goals. It also promotes mental wellness, community engagement, and collective responsibility. Previous runs have improved 60 classrooms and positively impacted more than 15,000 pupils, contributing to better enrollment and retention rates in public schools.

Housing Finance Bank’s renewed support aligns with its broader vision of inclusive growth, community empowerment, and sustainable development, reinforcing its role as a socially responsible financial institution committed to Uganda’s future.
