#Youthfulness is usefulness. If one is not useful he/she is not youthful. Being young is not an entitlement for anything. Everyone have a youth in him or her regardless of age. You must be USEFUL. My advice to youth is simple: Create your own value and become useful.
We find joy in seeing a generation that is free from early marriages, teenage pregnancies and gender based violence, reasons why we jump out of our comfort zones and extend our services to everyone in all corners of the country.

These are not the headlines we should be reading.
Our #LPR2020 highlights the horrifying state that nature is currently in - but it also outlines what we need to do to put it on a path to recovery. We must #StandUpForNature. https://t.co/aZLWiibQcg
Science does not lie. The average population size of mammals, fish, birds, reptiles and amphibians has declined by 68% since 1970 🤯
We can’t continue like this or there will be nothing left for future generations.
#LivingPlanetReport#LPR2020
Our relationship with the natural world is dangerously imbalanced. Unsustainable human activity harms nature, destroys habitats & increases the risk of diseases like #COVID19. A #NewDealForNature & People is needed.

@jackiekayesu@nbstv Sure, I have witnessed same cases here as well in Karamoja. Just been mediating another case of the same kind this morning with our LC1 chairman
Each of us has a child we are counting on, if her future is not well guided healthwise, teenage pregnancy hence early marriage will be the new word. That's why it's necessary to pass the National School Health Policy now
#NSHPNowNow
Filbert Baguma: We needed the National School Health Policy yesterday! Our young people are getting pregnant and dropping out of school because they do not have information and schools do not have the guidelines to follow. #NSHPNowNow
A message from the young people themselves. Hear them out 📢
Quality school health programming is imperative if we are to address the appalling health indicators in school communities and among young people. Pass the School Health Policy now!
