First lady and wife of the President Republic of Uganda

Janet Kataha Museveni

Mrs. Janet Kataha Museveni First lady and wife of the President is the Founder and current Patron of UWESO. 

She together with a handful of other women while in exile in Sweden came together to mobilize assistance for the many children orphaned and made destitute by the war in 1985. 
Her concern and care for these parentless children has earned her the name Maama in all corners of the country.

The Ugandan First Lady-Mrs. Janet Kataha Museveni

The Ugandan First Lady Mrs. Janet Museveni was completely unknown until her husband Yoweri Museveni took over the realms of power in Uganda in 1986. She is a cool spoken person, who drives her points slowly for the best effects to the listener. She is tall and beautiful and cuts a motherly appearance to the nation.
Her state involvement came almost immediately when she championed the cause for orphans in this country. The long guerrilla war in the Luwero Triangle did not only see many dead Ugandans both in battle and in cross fire, but it also generated so many orphans that the new government had to handle as a social problem. Here is where Mrs. Museveni came in and formed Uganda Women's Effort to Save Orphans (UWESO) She steered it as National Body for all these years and considerable improvement in the lives of Orphans can be seen today with all credits accruing to her. She is driven by the believe that children are future Ugandans and they should be made to live and grow for the sake of the country.
Many Ugandans believe she has a moderating influence on her Husband whose radical views and intolerance to other opinions could otherwise, have led this country to the deep waters in many frontiers of governance. Her fear of God has tended to brush off on the President's sensibilities and it is largely on this account that we have been able to see her lead her husband by the hand to Night prayers and born again Churches to worship with the people.
She has been in the fore front of promoting abstinence among the youth as a move to fight the spread of HIV/AIDS in the country. She has accordingly organized many youth fora and conferences to instill in our young people the value of staying alive in a country that has high infection rates of the disease that puts many young people at risk.
She has demonstrated to Ugandans that she is indeed an accomplished mother whose child upbringing credentials are impeccable! All her three daughters have been happily married and while they were growing up, not a single incident in bad taste was ever said about them. They continue to live as good ordinary citizens inspite of their high profiles as members of the first family.
Many Ugandans were not happy that this great woman should have joined the dirty game of politics when Mrs. Janet Museveni woke up one morning last year and declared her intentions to stand for parliamentary election in home area of Ntungamu. She of course, used the clout of her Husband, let alone the state resources to win the elections.With her husband looking tired and probably considering one more term, there are talks in the corridors of power that she is being groomed to be the next President of this Republic. Her performance in parliament has been superb-her contributions and motions are usually well thought out.
Whatever the future holds for this tall beautiful First lady of my country, I will always continue to hold her high in esteem for all the great things she has done for cause of children and the youth of this country. Good Luck Mrs. Museveni!
