Okukyusa erinnya kuno okw’obuvumu kutegekeddwa okutuukiriza ebyetaago by’abavubuka ba Uganda ebigenda byeyongera, okukwatagana n’emitendera gy’akatale egy’omulembe, n’okuleeta enkosa ey’amaanyi ku kusoomoozebwa kw’ebyobulamu by’abantu, gamba ng’okuziyiza akawuka ka siriimu, embuto z’abavubuka, n’embuto ezitagenderere.
Okuva lwe yatongoza Lifeguard mu 1997, Marie Stopes y’asinga akatale ka kondomu ezitundibwa mu bantu mu Uganda. Okumala emyaka kumpi 30, Lifeguard etuuse ku bukadde n’obukadde n’obukuumi obw’ebbeeyi, obwesigika obutuukana n’omutindo ogw’awaggulu ogw’ekitongole ky’ebyobulamu mu nsi yonna.
Enkyukakyuka eno eddiridde okunoonyereza okunene okwakolebwa ku bakozesa amagezi, okwalaga obwesige obw’amaanyi mu Lifeguard Condoms naye nga bweyongera obwetaavu bw’okupakinga n’empuliziganya ebikwatagana n’obulamu n’ebirowoozo by’abavubuka ab’omulembe guno naddala abali mu bibuga n’ebitundu ebiriraanye ebibuga. Twawuliriza era kati tuzzeemu obwetaavu buno.
Bwabadde ayogera mu lukung’aana lwa bannamawulire, Dayirekita wa Marie Stopes ow’eggwanga, Dr Peter Ddungu yakikkaatirizza nti okukyusa erinnya lya Lifeguard si nkyukakyuka mu dizayini yokka wabula n’obweyamo obuggya okutumbula abavubuka nga bafuna eby’obulamu eby’okuzaala ebitaliiko bulabe, ebyesigika, era eby’ebbeeyi.
“"Ebizuuliddwa gye buvuddeko okuva mu kunoonyereza okwakolebwa mu 2024 Performance Monitoring for Action (PMA) Survey biraga nti abavubuka 24.3% abaafuna empeereza y'okuziyiza okuzaala, omuli ne kondomu, tebaafuna mawulire gonna ku nkola eziriwo oba ebizibu ebivaamu. Kino kituli kye tumaliridde okuggalawo," Dr Ddungu bwe yategeezezza. ”Abavubuka baagala ebintu ebiraga kye bali era y’ensonga lwaki tuzzeemu okulowooza ku Lifeguard nga tulina okupakinga okutambula obulungi, okw’obuvubuka n’obubaka obubawulikika.“

Ng’ekika kya kondomu ekisinga okwesigika mu ggwanga, Lifeguard ekyagenda mu maaso n’okukola kinene mu kutangira siriimu, okutangira embuto ezitagendereddwa, n’okutumbula enkolagana ennungi.
“"Buli kondomu ya Lifeguard etundibwa esingako ku kintu kyokka. Kisuubiza obukuumi, ebiseera eby'omu maaso ebirina amaanyi, n'okulonda okussibwamu ekitiibwa. Okukyusa erinnya kuno ddaala lya buvumu mu maaso nga bwe tukwatagana n'ebyo abaguzi bye baagala ebigenda bikyukakyuka ate nga tulaba ng'ebyobulamu bisigala ku mutima gw'omulimu gwaffe," Dr Ddungu bwe yagasseeko.
