Our dear friend and colleague, Diana Nampeera,  DfG's Global Manager of Country Programs, has been experiencing some significant health challenges and has been in the hospital. We are heartbroken to share that Diana has succumbed to her illness, and passed away, surrounded by family and friends.

This is a tremendous loss. Diana has been a part of Days for Girls for over 10 years, and is a beloved member of our Days for Girls global family. Diana lived a beautiful and meaningful life. Her leadership, heart, passion, and dedication for elevating the needs of women and girls have been felt by many and will be greatly missed.

We extend our deepest condolences to Diana’s family and the Uganda Office Team at this time. I have been in contact with Diana’s husband Nicholas throughout the last week, and this evening reached out to extend our condolences personally on behalf of Days for Girls. We are sharing this information with the family’s permission. Our hearts ache for Nicholas, their two young sons, and Diana’s entire family during this very difficult time. 

We are hoping to raise funds to cover hospital bills, funeral, and burial expenses. Anything over that amount will be given to Diana’s family to provide support for her two young sons. 

Thank you for helping our sister and friend!
