Nowadays, in Uganda, constructions are everywhere. Almost every street has at least one construction site ongoing.

This boom in infrastructure is excellent for the country’s economy. We are proud of it. However, it is not pleasant to hear the construction noise on sundays.

In Kampala, most construction sites are open on sundays. Construction is a loud business, and workers will inevitably make noise. What if we all agreed to pause that noise on Sundays?

Why do you guys disturb society members who are able to rest only on Sundays at home with their family?

Don’t forget that some houses might have sick people; some might have small babies; some might need mental relaxation in silence after a long week.

Sunday is also a day of rest, and that should mean rest for the construction workers,too.

Many academic studies show that optimal number of weekly work hours is 45 hours.

Once you exceed 45 hours in a week at work, your health is under risk in long-term.

Respect your body. Respect the rest. Respect your neighbors. Stop doing construction on Sundays.
