The Bugerere Stabex EMC Rally wasn’t just a celebration of motorsport, it was a rally of purpose, people, and positive change. As the engines blazed through the dirt tracks of Kayunga, Women in Motorsport Uganda (WIM.UG) joined hands with partners and communities to make a lasting difference off the track.
Racing Towards a Greener Future
In a powerful show of environmental responsibility, WIM.UG spearheaded a tree-planting initiative along the Jinja–Iganga highway. This effort was made possible through a meaningful collaboration with:
Eastern Motor Club (EMC)
Segamu 14 Consult
Rotaract Club of Makindye

Stabex International
Worldwide Movers
Rally drivers and Motorsport fans

Together, we planted dozens of trees, not only to beautify the landscape but to restore green cover, combat climate change, and promote road safety through environmental preservation. Each tree symbolized a commitment one that motorsport can coexist with sustainability and contribute to Uganda’s environmental goals.
Fruit Trees for Families in Kayunga
Taking our green mission further, WIM.UG donated fruit-bearing trees to families in Kayunga District. These trees are more than just plants, they are a promise of long-term nutritional value, income potential, and ecological stability for the households that received them.
By empowering families to grow their own food, we are also contributing to community resilience and food security. It’s a simple, powerful way to connect motorsport with meaningful grassroots impact.
The Bugerere Stabex EMC Rally proved that motorsport is more than just a competition, it is a movement. Through strategic partnerships, community engagement, and bold leadership, WIM.UG is reimagining what it means to participate in rallying.
As we accelerate into the future, we remain committed to ensuring every race leaves a legacy one of impact, inclusion, and inspiration.
As excitement builds for the Bugerere Stabex EMC Rally 2025, Women in Motorsport Uganda (WIM.UG) is once again reaffirming its commitment to environmental responsibility alongside the thrill of motorsport. In collaboration with Segamu 14 Consult, we are proud to launch a tree-planting initiative in Jinja and Kayunga districts, designed to help preserve our environment while we race.

Addressing Motorsport’s Environmental Impact
While motorsport brings communities together, promotes talent, and boosts local economies, it also contributes to carbon dioxide emissions through rally cars and event-related logistics. Recognizing this, WIM.UG and Segamu 14 Consult are taking proactive steps to offset this environmental footprint by planting trees along and around rally routes and in public community spaces.
This initiative will:
Improve air quality by absorbing carbon dioxide and releasing oxygen.
Help combat soil erosion and promote biodiversity in the rally areas.
Encourage environmental awareness and community involvement in motorsport events.
Appreciating Our Long-Standing Partners
Such community-driven initiatives are made possible thanks to the unwavering support of our loyal partners, who have stood by WIM.UG’s mission of promoting women in motorsport and giving back to society.
We proudly recognize and appreciate our long-term partners:

Celebrating the Success of the NRC2 Masaka Blood Donation Campaign
In motorsport, every second counts. Drivers push limits, machines roar to life, and fans gather with hearts pounding in rhythm with the engines. But at the NRC2 rally in Masaka, something even more powerful took place a quiet, selfless act of humanity that echoed louder than any engine could.
Women in Motorsport Uganda (WIM.UG) organized a Blood Donation Campaign during the rally weekend, bringing together competitors, fans, and stakeholders for a cause far greater than trophies and podiums: saving lives.
Racing for Humanity
We want to extend our deepest and most heartfelt appreciation to everyone who participated in this noble initiative. Whether you donated blood, helped organize, encouraged others, or simply showed up in support, you made a difference.
Amid the heat and high stakes of the rally, you paused to give part of yourself so someone else might live. That, in our eyes, is the ultimate show of strength and sportsmanship.
Drivers, co-drivers, officials, fans, and even support teams stepped up without hesitation. You are the real MVPs, the heroes behind the helmets and banners.
Applause from the Paddock
The initiative didn’t just capture hearts, it earned praise from some of Uganda’s top rally drivers, a testament to the growing synergy between sport and social impact.
Isaac Ssozi and Champion Nasser Mutebi, two respected figures in the local motorsport scene, publicly commended the campaign. They noted that a blood drive of this nature was “really overdue,” and applauded WIM.UG for taking leadership on such a critical issue.
Their support reflects a shifting mindset in motorsport, that rallying isn’t just about competing, but also about using the platform to drive meaningful change in society.
A Collective Effort: Partners in Purpose
No great initiative succeeds in isolation. We are deeply grateful to our incredible partners who stood by us and made this campaign possible:
Uganda Blood Transfusion Services (Kitovu Branch) – for your professionalism, dedication, and life-saving expertise.
Worldwide Movers – for supporting logistics and rallying behind the cause.
Nash Rally Team – for being a strong voice and presence both on and off the track.
Uganda Red Cross Society – for your trusted partnership and on-ground support.
Rotaract Club Masaka – for mobilizing young changemakers to step up.
Nabugabo Sand Beach – for contributing resources and hosting efforts.
Sumz Snacks – for keeping our volunteers and donors energized.
Together as One Enterprises Ltd – for standing in solidarity with our mission.
Your generosity, whether in kind, in time, or in voice, helped transform this campaign from an idea into a movement.
Women Leading the Way
To our fellow Women in Motorsport, this is your victory too. You showed up in numbers, coordinated with excellence, and inspired with compassion. You reminded us that women in rallying are not just navigating stages but driving transformation. Your example paves the way for a new generation of women who believe in the power of motorsport to heal, to unite, and to serve.
The Impact: Numbers That Matter
We are proud to announce that a total of 41 litres of blood were collected during the NRC2 Masaka event. That’s not just a statistic it’s the potential to save over 120 lives.
In a country where the need for blood donations is critical and continuous, this contribution sends a powerful message: Motorsport communities care.
The Road Ahead
This campaign was not a one-off. It was a starting point. Our goal is to integrate blood donation and other humanitarian efforts into more motorsport events across the calendar. We believe that our sport can be a force for good, reaching people where they are and inspiring action through shared passion.
We invite all stakeholders, teams, sponsors, federations, fans, and friends to continue supporting this life-saving journey. Let’s make it a tradition to race with heart, not just horsepower.
Be the Reason for Someone’s Heartbeat
As we look back at NRC2 Masaka with pride, we look forward with purpose. The blood you gave, the support you offered, and the love you showed will live on in every life saved.
Thank you for being a part of this. Thank you for choosing to make a difference.
