Besides being one of the best R&B singers in the country, vocalist 'MARO', founder and C.E.O of 'Vocal Police' has a Big HEART.
Maro's upcoming concert 'Kyokoba - Mubbi Bubbi' is going to be held at 'The Mackinnon Suites' along Mackinnon road in Nakasero opposite Nakasero primary school.
The show will feature a number of big artists including 'David Lutalo', 'Irene Ntale', 'GNL Zamba', 'Rema Namakula', 'Iryn Namubiru', 'Aziz Azion', 'Levixone', and many others.
40% of proceeds from MARO's concert goes to "Uganda Hands For Hope", a non-profit charity working in Uganda’s poorest slum, Namuwongo.
About 'Hands For Hope'
Hands for Hope works with the slum’s most vulnerable children and families – 90% of Namuwongo’s residents live below the absolute poverty line (earn less than 75p a day).
The slum itself is an extremely dangerous place for children. Alcoholism in men is rife and sexual exploitation and prostitution is common. Clean water is accessible, but the hygiene levels are extremely poor with untreated medical conditions an everyday problem.
Uganda Hands for Hope offers the most vulnerable children an education, a safe place to spend their days, free medical care, emotional support, and two essential meals a day. They also offer livelihood programmes for struggling mothers, reading & writing skills classes for non-sponsored children, and child protection initiatives.
Going to Maro's concert will save hundreds of children sufferering from famine and diseases ... This will be your chance to get entertainment by the best artists in Uganda and save the world.

After Maro spending 2 months with the organization as an intern ( in pursuit of his Makerere University Bachelors degree in development studies), he realized a lot of Help was needed to change the lives in the community of Namuwongo. As a way of supporting the works of the organization he decided to give a percentage (40%) of his proceeds to the 'Uganda hands for hope' to continue being "in the community for the community" just as the organization's slogan says!
The charity has been able to help the children through a sponsorship programme (it costs just £20 a month to sponsor a child) and charitable donations.
