06 November 2022 | MTN Marathon

The MTN Kampala Marathon has garnered proceeds over the years that have been used to deliver change in communities but also ensured service delivery all over the country.

When the event started in 2004, 20 million shillings from 1500 participants were raised.

Six years later when other corporate companies joined the cause and came in to sponsor, MTN raised at least 500 to 600 million shillings annually.

Over the years raised Ushs 4bn+ have benefitted several causes such as helping expectant mothers with maternity kits, resettling people displaced by war in northern Uganda, delivering clean water and improving sanitation in communities/schools, and most recently, improving maternal health facilities.

Below is how proceeds have been distributed since the MTN Marathon's inception.
