Helping Others Is Not Just for the Wealthy — Douglas Lwanga
Media personality Douglas Lwanga has urged people to stop waiting for wealthy individuals to solve society’s problems, arguing that everyone has the ability to help someone in need.
In a social media post, Lwanga argued that helping others does not depend on how much money a person has but on their willingness to make a difference.
Helping and giving has no formula. It is not for the wealthy only. It is not a must, it is not about how much you have, it is just a heart.
According to him, many people overlook simple opportunities to support others in their daily lives.
He pointed out that some throw away clothes that could benefit those in need, while others waste food as someone else goes to bed hungry.
The burden should not be placed on a few. We have thrown old clothes away yet someone needed clothes. You have thrown food in the dustbin yet someone slept hungry.
Lwanga also stressed that helping others is not always about money.
Sometimes, he noted, offering guidance, advice, or a few minutes of your time can be just as valuable.
Someone needs five minutes of your time for advice on career or business, but you are busy for anyone. Someone needs rent of 50k, while another chooses to blow 12 million in one night in a bar.
He concluded by encouraging people to take responsibility for the positive impact they can make instead of expecting a small group of wealthy people to carry that burden alone.
We all have power to make life better for another person. We just choose not to. This is the irony of life. So do not wait for the rich man to do good. You too can play your part. Let us lift each other up.
Although Lwanga did not mention anyone by name, some social media users interpreted his message through the lens of recent discussions following Master Parrot’s death.
The debate intensified after MC Kats publicly questioned whether musician-turned-politician Bobi Wine had contributed towards the late singer’s vigil and funeral arrangements, prompting wider conversations about generosity, support, and responsibility within the entertainment industry.
Helping and giving has no fomula, its not for the wealthy only. Its not a must, its not about how much you have, its just a heart. The burden shouldnt be placed on a few. We have thrown old cloths yet someone needed cloths, you have thrown food at the dustbin yet someone slept…
