He ended his visit with a mass at St Stephen’s cathedral in Goli woman’s centre ground on Tuesday 4th of July after visiting all the Arch_deaconries in Nebbi diocese.

The Archbishop who testified of how hard it was for his mother to bring him single-handedly to Katwe slum in Kampala city after his parents separated when he was just 1 year old, cautioned believers against polygamy that he believes set fertile grounds for single parenting.

He also called upon parents to desist from discrimination against stepchildren.

“Never hesitate to help a needy child, you never know what this kind of a child will be in future. These little children we are seeing may be our doctors, and ministers in future. Stepmothers, don’t mistreat these children because it’s not their problem”, Kazimba said.

The Archbishop also rallied believers to support all church projects such that they become independent.

The Archbishop also ended his preaching with a strong-worded criticism towards LGBTQ rights and urged believers to live a Godly life.

Across the world, about 1 billion children are multi-dimensionally poor,  meaning they lack necessities as basic as nutrition, clean water or food additionally some 100 million children have been plunged into Multidimensional poverty due to the covid-19 Pandemic according to UNICEF.
