Hajji Karim Kaliisa, Managing Director of Salam TV and Salam Charity, recently embarked on a three-day tour of Rwampara, Rwensinga, and Kibeho villages to identify key opportunities for development in education, health, agriculture, and capacity building.
His visit aimed to strengthen partnerships with local leaders and foster sustainable growth in these underserved communities.
Fostering Collaboration for Sustainable Development
During his visit, Hajji Kaliisa engaged local leaders in discussions focused on creating impactful initiatives that address pressing community needs.
