Vivo Energy Uganda is proud to be part of the CoRSU Walk 2025 for the second year, pledging UGX 10 million to support children’s surgeries. This year’s Walk, themed “Bring hope to children with disability,” aims to raise UGX 400 million to fund up to 300 surgeries, purchase vital theatre equipment, renovate the Outpatients Department, and boost rehabilitation services. Our support goes beyond a pledge, it reflects our commitment to transforming lives and we call on Ugandans and partners to join us on Sunday, 5th October 2025 at the MUBS Main Playground, as we walk to give children mobility, independence, and hope. #CoRSUWalk2025 #WeAreVivoEnergy #FuellingAfricasGrowth

The key benefits of the partnership include establishing LPG storage and filling capacity to anchor supply integration from Uganda’s upstream production projects. This will enhance access to clean cooking fuels across the country, supporting ongoing campaigns aimed at increasing domestic LPG uptake and reduce dependence on biomass fuels, thereby protecting forests and improving public health. The partnership will further stimulate economic value-chain growth, create local jobs and strengthen national content in Hoima and neighbouring regions. 2/2 #WeAreVivoEnergy #FuellingAfricasGrowth

The 'HeadsUp!' campaign continues to shine! Having previously won the @Vivoenergy Award for 'Best Reputation Building Campaign' and the @PRAU_Uganda Award for 'Best CSR and Sustainability Campaign', it has now been named 'Best Use of Partnership Marketing Campaign' at the @umeawards. The HeadsUp campaign saw us partner with @PoliceUg Directorate of Traffic and Road Safety to visit schools countrywide where we freely distributed over 2,000 child helmets and educated children on road safety. This recognition highlights our commitment to promoting safer road use and is a win for road safety and for all who've partnered with us to make the campaign a success! Thank you!
