A Beacon of Hope: GLOFORD CEO Launches “Wealth From Waste” Initiative for Young Entrepreneur
Lira , Uganda –Nobember 12, 2025: In a heartwarming display of corporate social responsibility and personal commitment, Dr. Morris Chris Ongom, CEO of GLOFORD, has announced a transformative initiative aimed at empowering a young, struggling entrepreneur through the organization’s innovative “Wealth From Waste” program. The move, coinciding with Dr. Ongom’s birthday celebration, underscores a deep-seated belief in the potential of individuals and a dedication to fostering cleaner, more sustainable communities.
For some time, Dr. Ongom has been closely observing the arduous efforts of a particular young man striving to earn a livelihood through waste collection. Moved by his perseverance, Dr. Ongom has personally selected him to be enrolled in GLOFORD’s flagship “Wealth From Waste” program. This program, designed to equip individuals with the skills and resources to transform waste into valuable commodities, offers a sustainable path to economic independence.
“Dear friends, followers locally and globally,” Dr. Ongom stated in a personal appeal. “I have been following the struggles of this young man for some time. I asked my team at GLOFORD to enroll him in our Wealth From Waste program. As part of my birthday celebration, I have picked him.”
The core of this initiative lies in providing the young entrepreneur with the essential tools to expand his operations. Dr. Ongom is calling upon his extensive network – individuals, groups, companies, and organizations alike – to rally behind this cause. The immediate goal is to raise funds for the purchase of a mode of transport, which will significantly enhance his capacity to collect and transport waste efficiently. This, in turn, will allow him to scale his income generation activities and contribute more meaningfully to the cleanliness of the city.
“I request you individually, as groups, companies and organizations to raise funds to buy for him transport to help him transport garbage, make money and make our city clean,” Dr. Ongom urged.
He has established a direct and personal channel for those wishing to contribute, emphasizing transparency and ease of engagement. “If you are willing to contribute anything, just get into my inbox with your details and pledge. Our team will reach out for guidance.” This direct line ensures that pledges are noted, and potential donors can receive clear instructions on how to participate effectively.
The “Wealth From Waste” program at GLOFORD is more than just a charitable act; it is an investment in a circular economy and a testament to the belief that even discarded materials hold immense potential. By supporting this young man, GLOFORD and its partners are not only offering a lifeline but also fostering an entrepreneurial spirit that can inspire others and create a ripple effect of positive change.
As the birthday celebration of Dr. Ongom approaches, the anticipation is high. His selfless act of choosing to dedicate this personal milestone to empowering another individual shines a bright light on the power of compassion and collective action. The heartfelt benediction, “May God make this happen for this humble youth, amen,” echoes the hope that this initiative will not only transform the life of this young man but also significantly contribute to the sustainable development and environmental well-being of the community.
Individuals and organizations interested in contributing to this impactful initiative are encouraged to reach out to Dr. Morris Chris Ongom via his inbox to make their pledge.
