Conferment of the Harambee 2020 Award Ceremony is, however,
scheduled for Thursday 5 March 2020 in Madrid, Spain. The award acknowledges
Doctor Kyamummi’s work as an ardent promoter of the Child Health Project (CHEP)
which supports some of the most vulnerable children in Kampala, Uganda.
Worked first in Kenya now Uganda
Kyamummi studied medicine at Uganda’s University of Makerere
and then worked on projects in favour of low-income families, first in Kenya
and then in Uganda. In particular, she has collaborated on initiatives that
support children suffering from tuberculosis as well as improving the living
conditions of over 5,000 sick children.
With the Prize, sponsored by the René Furterer Laboratorios,
Kyamummi will be able to contribute more to the reduction of child mortality in
the suburbs of Kampala through targeted health care programs.
Uganda’s CHEP Project also involves schools and, through
them, families, because education is seen as essential to preventing and
ensuring a healthier life for Ugandan’s vulnerable children.
