AMDA Rubaga Project Update

I. Current Status

The AMDA Rubaga Project commenced in 2015 and comprises:

• A multipurpose hall
• Office space for AMDA, ABF, and SACCO
• A canteen
• A four-level, 15-bedroom clergy residence

The initial budget for the complex was UGX 5.1 billion.

Currently:

• The ground and first floors of the clergy residence are complete and occupied
• The second and third floors, including the Archbishop’s suite, remain incomplete and uninhabitable
• The main hall is still unfinished but has been in use since 24th November 2024 for Mass and meetings

To fast-track partial occupation, a UGX 200 million loan was secured from the AMDA SACCO in August 2024 at 17% interest per annum.

As of 25th March 2026:

• Total paid: UGX 150,376,850
• Outstanding balance: UGX 47,570,950

IV. Completion Plan

Through the generosity of AMDA members and friends, significant progress has been made. We are deeply grateful for all contributions.

Key Priorities

• Clear the outstanding loan by September 2026
• Resume full construction immediately after loan clearance

If each monthly animation raises UGX 10 million, the loan can be cleared comfortably within the timeline.

We extend sincere gratitude to:

• Hon. Kobusingye Adrine
  (Chairperson – NRM Women League, Kyamuhunga Parish)
  • For offering to fund windows and doors for the multipurpose hall
• All members who have contributed so far

Call to Action

We appeal to all members who made pledges during the “Tutaahe Rubaga” fundraiser (24th November 2024) to honor their commitments.

• Only 46% of pledges have been fulfilled
• Completing the remaining pledges will significantly accelerate progress
