Covid-19 Support to Artists

From day one when the global pandemic (Covid-19) NUHC as an organisation that deals with art or creativity has been facing a lot of challenges with the members and the community at large. Art industry was the first to be closed and we don’t know when it will be open again!. This has made our artists to loose hope because most depend on shows or crowd performances but as organisation we were grateful to our partner In place of War (IPOW) for supporting us with emergency relief fund that we managed to provide food for artists in two districts (Gulu and Kitgum) in Northern Uganda who since the lockdown have never received any support either from the government or international agents. With the funding also we managed to provide preventive measures material for the People With Disabilities (PWD), the translated version and pictorial posters. inmates and the media also benefited from the relief food.
At Kitgum District Resident Commissioner (RDC) office, delivering the translated covid-19 posters to the Risk communication and community engagement task force chairperson and the district chairperson for Disabilities. The poster was designed by Brian Omal (Ofwox) a member of NUHC who heads the grafitti. For years our goal has been to ensure inclusion for all.
