In her efforts to achieve gender equality Atuki Turner has written articles, defended women in court, petitioned the constitutional court, given public addresses, participated in demonstrations and campaigns. These efforts have won her both local and international awards and recognition.
In yet a new project to try and address gender and social issues, Atuki has embarked on an information packed and humor filled Radio Soap Opera called MAKO-MERE.
MAKO-MERE which lightly translates as ‘Making Friends’ was cast on location in an imaginary village, Awendo with local cast. The audience will relate with one or two characters and the issues the soap is address affect every Ugandan. MAKO-MERE is targeted towards creating behavioural change. The soap will hit national radio airwaves soon and will not only keep the audience glued to their Radio sets but also leave them laughing.
The scripts for MAKO-MERE were written by Ugandan writers guided by international Award Winning Novelist, Short stories and Playwright, Professor Jane Rogers and the casting by renown editor Clive Brill and Atuki Turner.
MAKO-MERE will make you see life in a different perspective and you will soon start making friends.
