In Uganda, gifting, a rooster to a new father is a significant cultural tradition. The act symbolizes, respect and acknowledgment of the man’s new role as a father. The rooster is often seen as a symbol of fertility and prosperity, making it a fitting gift to celebrate the arrival of a child.
We celebrate that the managing director of Khayamandi Foundation Uganda, Herbert Niwahereza and his wife Norah recently celebrated the birth of their first child!
In this picture, you will see Maurine, the headmaster of our New Life Preschool, offering Herbert a rooster!
Welcome to the family, baby Lucas!
