Western Uganda Faith Based Organisation Network (WUFBON) on 18th December 2021 joined the Albinism Umbrella to celebrate the World Albinism Day.
During the event, the Uganda commissioner of Health, Dr. Richard Mugahi, pledged to advance human rights for albinism, develop messages to stop exclusion of albinos in places of worship, education and health facilities. He committed to continue being the ambassador of albinism.
The UN representative pledged to work with WUFBON in support of albinism realization of their rights and ensure the National Albinism Action Plan is asserted.
WUFBON will be part of the UN engagements together with the Albinism Umbrella.
One of the success story shared during the event is a person living with Albinism who recently graduated with a Bachelor of Education degree. This is a clear indication that interfaith relations can continue fostering inclusive spaces for all people of our communities regardless of their religion, gender, age, culture, ethnicity, race, ability or any other dimension of diversity by “welcoming the other” and guiding our communities towards the virtues of respect, love, solidarity and care for our neighbors.
Faith to Action Network, in partnership with WUFBON, is implementing the Joint Initiative for Strategic Religious Action (JISRA) project which is designed to realize peaceful and just societies where all enjoy Freedom of Religion and Belief (FoRB).
WUFBON is a member organization of Faith to Action Network.
