It was absurd to listen to someone explaining the after effects of suicide. She decried of the fact that all of them as a family after seven years had not gotten over it. The trauma is unexplainable.

Yesterday, we held a joint planning meeting with the Kawempe Division administrators, and we discussed a number of things.
Among them was how CHCM could integrate eye health into the community outreaches organised by the Kawempe Division.
Today, as we marked #World Day for Safety and Health at Work, we spent time with carpenters at Bwaise Ku Mabuule, engaging them on eye health risks associated with their daily work and the importance of wearing eye shields, as sawdust is one of the foreign bodies that affect eyes
#worldsafetyday26@ilo its high time we walk the talk about protection and safety for all the workers. A lot of efforts have been placed on the formal sector, neglecting the informal sector workers . And unfortunately, it's the girls and the women that bear the burden most.
@EvidenceAction CHCM will be glad to as well share how workplace based distribution of these glasses is very effective. We have not piloted this but lived it, done it and boldly say. It's one of the best approaches. Kindly reach out to us to share about it and also be part of the initiative.
The informal sector workers are one of the most hardworking people, busy who give their whole at work to make ends meet. This miss out on accessing health services. However, implementing interventions that target them at their workplaces proves very successful. @Seva_Foundation
On this International women's day, CHCM renews its commitment to serve the women in the informal sector through eye health and maternal mental health.
Happy women's day,

When we talk about demand creation for eye care services, tailoring services according to the needs, and extending eye care services to their workplaces is key.

CHCM received a microgrant from @lovepositivewomen to implement an activity within Valentine 2026 period, aimed at bringing a gift of sight to women LWHIV. Therefore, we have partnered with @kawempeHome Care to conduct a free eye check up within their premises.#lovepositivewomen
Our Christmas Came in Handy!
We celebrated this festive season smiling ear to ear. Anti munange, Mwagale Grace,successfully underwent a cataract surgery! And you know what, her appreciation for our support left us over the moon. @FamilySeva@SevaFoundation5@womenleadersin
Evidence suggests that 12% of commercial drivers do not have the minimum visual acuity required for driving while 6.8% had visual impairment (VA < 6/18 in the better eye),(Afric, 2011). Lets learn on how poor vision among drivers is dangerous to us all.
The World AIDs Day.
On this world day, we would like to remind us all that eye care is for us including people living with HIV. Therefore we request that eye care services(health education, VA screening etc) be intergrated in the services provided to PLHIV just like the routine
And what was done was to silence her. We need more women with lived experiences on maternal mental health to speak up. Maybe that is when people will come to our rescue. Enough is enough. @pmc_gov_au@UNO
@BuweekulaPrody There's a day she posted about being pregnant and being underweight, she was 45kg and pregnant 😭 my heart sunk, women really go through it in marriages 🙌😭
experiencing hormonal changes, we are unrelieved, when we call on governments and other partners to prioritize maternal mental health, they say we don't know what we are talking about. Only women with lived experiences can explain the pain of calling out pain and no one
