WATCH: KCCA last evening dispatched 200 children rescued from the streets of Kampala to Napak District to resume formal education following successful rescue and rehabilitation. The children had been undergoing rehabilitation at Masulita Children’s Village (MCV) in Wakiso District. KCCA Executive Director Sharifah Buzeki has warned individuals who traffic children to the streets for financial gain, saying the Authority will investigate and prosecute all perpetrators. According to authorities, many of the children come from Karamoja and are brought to Kampala to solicit money for exploitation. Each child is reportedly required to raise at least Shs5,000 per day, regardless of the circumstances.

I took part in the joint monitoring visit by BLOOM project and the Kampala City Council Authority. The project focuses on prevention and treatment of children and young people living with HIV. We support the efforts of government to deliver essential services. @JOYFORCHILDREN

A child living with a disability is often without hope.
Through our Restore Lives of Children Living with Disabilities project, we provide scholastic materials, healthcare services and even sponsorship. All children should enjoy their rights to the fullest!

As we gain more insight on how best to improve implementation of the #BLOOMproject in Kampala, alongside consortium members under the project, we are thrilled to register success. Young mothers aged 10-24 living with HIV and their babies, now access healthcare with no stigma.

[Joy for Children Uganda @JOYFORCHILDREN]

Consortium members under the #BLOOMProject continue to participate in joint supervision visits. This week, members come to Kampala to observe progress being implemented by Joy for Children Uganda across all the 5 divisions. Learning how best we can reach young mothers aged 10-24.

Ohhh God😭
This is heartbreaking. What makes you hate your child to this extent.
Parents no matter what misunderstandings you may have with your partner, please don’t involve children. How are we supposed to raise a better generation when we are like this????

[Mbabazi Faridah (N) @MbabaziFridah]

This is one of the most heartbreaking videos I have watched. 💔

Dear parents, sometimes it costs nothing to show up for your children, to listen to them, and to help them when they need you most regardless of the misunderstandings you two be having.

How heartbreaking is it that a sick a young boy has to come online and plead for medical treatment? His video begins:

“Hey Daddy, I hope you’re doing well. This time, it’s not school fees. Please help me with my hospital bills. I beg you, I don’t want to die. I’ve gone through multiple surgeries, and my mum is not stable at all.”

Kindly, let’s push this video. 🙏🏽 Perhaps his father will see it and help his son. One share could make a difference.

We promote the right every child has to be heard and respected. Children aren't just beneficiaries of decisions, they are individuals with their own thoughts, experiences, ideas and opinions, that should be aired out not silenced.

Through our Girls’ Empowerment Camps, we have created safe and supportive spaces where girls can learn, grow and thrive. From menstrual hygiene and health to self-appreciation, confidence and self-esteem.

Do not miss!

@ProssyNakanwag1, a strong advocate for mental wellness in children, will join our X Space conversation to share insights on the mental health and psychosocial challenges children and adolescents face, particularly those living with HIV.

[Joy for Children Uganda @JOYFORCHILDREN]

Happening this Friday!

An insightful conversation on what mental wellness truly means for children living with HIV. One of our key panelists is @JasperAyden, the Young Adolescent Peer coordinator for Kampala region and a adolescent counselor working at Kisenyi iv health center.

[Joy for Children Uganda @JOYFORCHILDREN]

HIV often causes mental strain for individuals living with it. For children, in most cases, this mental strain is often overlooked, ignored or brushed off as something that will pass. Join us this Friday as we analyze the intersection between children's mental health and #HIV.

“let us also teach children to recognize the strangers behind the screens. Their routes have changed, but our responsibility to protect children has never changed” From the Child Safety Ambassador, Joan Marinah and Guest of Honor.
What an honour to witness this.

Ultimately, parents have to take back the power. We brought these children into the world, and we have a responsibility to ensure they grow into responsible people not robots.
This is a strong reminder that parents cannot outsource their responsibility for children’s safety.

How do we empower caregivers to effectively monitor and protect children online when we, as adults, are also spending too much time on our phones?
A powerful question raised during the #BeACyberHero launch. Child online safety starts with responsible digital behaviour from adults

"40% of children aged 12 to 14 are Internet users. Half of these children do not know how to protect themselves online" Janet Akao, @UNICEF

Did you know that in Uganda we have 64.6 Million mobile subscribers, 19.7 M mobile internet subscribers and 20.5 Million smart phones in Uganda.

How do we parent children online? @KKariisa
#BeACyberHero

[Agatha @MusiimentaHR]

Do we understand the risks involved when we share children’s images online? Even parents and organisations need to think about consent, privacy and how those images may be used or shared.
Child protection must also apply in the digital space.

[Agatha @MusiimentaHR]

As parents and caregivers, we cannot leave the responsibility of protecting our children online entirely to government or social media platforms. We also have a role to play

40% of children aged 12–17 in Uganda are internet users, and among these child users, reported experiences of online exploitation range between 8% and 21%, A powerful reminder that online child protection can no longer be treated as a future concern.
