In 2025, we launched a project empowering youth & women with practical skills, confidence, & pathways to self-reliance. Early results: stronger skills, better decisions, and resilient communities. @ViiVHC @SegalFoundation @Kel_Brantner #YouthEmpowerment #WomenInBusiness

#DemocracyOnTrial

[Maskani Ya Taifa 🇰🇪 @Maskani254]

As millions of Ugandans will be lining up to vote, tomorrow, several opposition leaders; including @NUP_Ug figures and veteran Dr. Kizza Besigye, remain behind bars, with activist Birrete detained just weeks before the polls.

When candidates are jailed simply for running, and political dissent is criminalized, elections are reduced to a ritual, not a choice.

What does democracy mean when participation itself is under threat?

Self-care isn’t selfish.
It’s how you recharge, set boundaries, and protect your peace.
Take a break. Breathe. Heal.

But Patrick’s journey didn’t stop there. He joined our pilot Street Business School, gaining entrepreneurship skills & mentorship. He started to see himself not just as a beneficiary, but as a role model for his peers. #EconomicInclusion

[Activate Action @action_activate]

Through our SAWA Project (supported by @ViiVHC & @LVCTKe ), Patrick joined honest conversations on HIV prevention, mental health & positive masculinity. For the first time, he felt included—his voice mattered. #HIVPrevention #ActivateAction

With goats provided as a start-up project, Patrick is now building a small business. More than income, the goats symbolize resilience, dignity & hope

At just 19, Patrick from Homa Bay represents the struggles many boys face. While most programs focus on girls, boys are often left behind, without SRHR info, at risk of harmful behaviors, & with few economic opportunities. #YouthEmpowerment #SRHR

At 17, Frances dropped out of school, became a young mother & lost hope.
Through our SAWA Project & Street Business School, she gained skills + 20 poultry birds to start a business.
Today, she provides for her kids & dreams again.

Before engaging students at Homa Bay High School on mental wellness, our Activate Action fellows held a debriefing session. Why? Because healing work starts with us.
