In December 2024, NOTDEC did a radio talk show on local stations Guide and Messiah. Dorothy Nizrambi, who started caring for the orphans, was amongst the presenters!

The aim was to raise awareness of NOTDEC’s work in child welfare and education. Many people from the community phoned in congratulating NOTDEC on its loving care for some of Uganda’s most vulnerable children and pledging whatever they could afford – this raised 335,000 UGX (£72) and 100kg of rice!

One local family from Ibanda, a local town, asked their daughters, who live in Kampala, to support NOTDEC. On Christmas Eve, the family came to NOTDEC – bearing gifts: 20 soap bars, cake, rice (50kg), maize flour (150kg), spaghetti, fizzy drinks, and 4,000,000 UGX (£860) in cash.
