This Friday, the Embassy visited the factory of Tunga Nutrition (Hendrix). During the visit we got to see the full production process, from raw materials to final products. Apart from feed and mixes, Tunga also provides training and resources.

Men who recover from #Ebola should avoid sex for at least 6 months or use condoms consistently and correctly.
This is because the virus can stay in semen even after recovery.

Today we came together to commemorate the International Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management Day 2026. 🩸✨

It was a powerful moment of learning, sharing, and advocating for a world where menstruation is treated with dignity and not shame. #PeriodFriendlyWorld

"Healing starts from the victim's acceptance of the situation and moving on in life. Socially, victims should not be discriminated. Take time to know the survivors for whom they are, but not what they experienced."-Henry Melo of Men of Hope. @NLinUganda @SSISVAM @MakerereLaw

[Refugee Law Project @refugeelawproj]

"Men also experience violence, but stigma and systemic barriers make reporting difficult.
Justice systems and laws must become survivor-centered and recognize that men can also be victims of rape."- Jackie Osuna of @FIDA_Uganda. @NLinUganda @MakerereLaw @SSISVAM #SSIVII

"Healing often begins with opening up, but many people remain silent because vulnerability can invite judgment, stigma, dismissal or even retraumatisation"- @lizabethokello, from @counsellingug. @NLinUganda @pius_ojara
