KAMPALA, UGANDA: The Archbishop of the Church of Uganda (COU) Dr. Steven Kazimba Mugalu has initiated a campaign where he will reward virgin school-going girls with cash prizes in a move to promote purity among Christians and adolescent girls.
Dr. Kazimba made the remarks during his Pastoral Visit to schools in Wakiso district ahead of the golden jubilee celebrations of the diocese of Kampala at Gayaza High School.
While serving as Bishop of Mityana, Kaziimba started a program of honoring couples that upheld their virginity till the time of marriage.
According to the Provincial Communications Officer at COU, Mr. Sadiiki Adams, the initiative by the Archbishop is meant to promote purity in courtship, healthy dating, and respectable marriages.
Mr. Sadiiki in an interview with KFM explained that Dr. Kazimba has put aside some cash rewards for the same program that will be given to girls who will pass an assessment by a team of highly respected born-again women well conversant with proving that one is a virgin.
According to Wikipedia, Virginity is the state of a person who has never engaged in sexual intercourse. The term virgin originally only referred to sexually inexperienced women but has evolved to encompass a range of definitions, as found in traditional, modern, and ethical concepts.
