Uganda marks 64 years of Independence. The strides we are making are towards achieving true independence but for us at CFIU, it’s empowered communities and that’s what we are here for.

Highlighted but insightful.
8th March, 2024 commemorated and here is a little something we were able to put together.

We celebrate the strength, resilience, and achievements of women everywhere. And honor the trailblazing women who have paved the way for progress and equality. Empower a woman, empower a community. Let’s work together to uplift and support women in all aspects of life.

A 12 year old who lives with her aged grandmother shares her picks and lessons from the #PadforHer MHDay2022 event. We are glad to hear of such stories from girls who have been kept back for so long. Now she can freely express herself, speak up and advise others not to be shy.

We have been away and out of loop but we just got back with some pictorials from the MHDay2022 event. Enjoy and see what we did together with our partners, savethechildfoundation

Yet again our partners @savethechildfound have gifted us 500 resuable sanitary napkins through AFRIpads and we did drop by AFRIpads factory to pick the donation. We feel great partnering with this ambient organization; they definitely understood our agenda

As this year's 28th May (MHDay 2022) is approaching, we are hoping to double our impact from 350 girls to over 600 girls benefiting from our distribution of sanitary napkins. Please consider a gift because girls are missing out on school and other activities due to menstruation

We visited a local HIV/AIDS service organization on #WorldAIDSDay2021 had a chat with Dr. Edward Ssemwanga, the Medical Director, Villa Maria Hospital in Kalungu District about HIV/AIDS in young people; "young people have a key role to play in achieving an HIV free generation."

Do you Know Your Status??
Do you care about your health & Safety? Take an HIV test, Get in Care and Stay in care.
Together we can end the HIV epidemic by 2030 and acquire an HIV free generation.

Covid-19 Pandemic has accelerated digital platforms for learning, earning and connecting, although some still do not have internet access and this is greatly a reality for girls living in rural villages of the world's least developed countries like Uganda. #DayOfTheGirl #girls

[Character First Initiative Uganda @CFinitiativeug]

We shall also beam the light on girls' rights and on issues affecting girls & how they can be resolved.
One action at a time, we can make our communities safe for girls. Spread the word, a girl's voice cannot be silenced! #DayOfTheGirl
