@socmedglobalug@AineProvia@AlexOlirus@ajfinnegan@AlfredOdoch We are more than grateful for the opportunity to and commitment to accompany VHT and communities to health care facilities that are very distant. You have bridge homes and health care. You have brought health care closer to the communities of Amuru. You have saved lives.
Big news!🥳 @socmedglobalug has received support from the Merck Family Foundation to launch #CareConnectAmuru, strengthening #primaryhealthcare access in rural Amuru District.
The project will provide bicycles to VHTs and strengthen a repair workshop, to boost VHT mobility!

Bank Security 1:
No one needs your pin to withdraw money from your bank, all that is needed is 5 sec access to your VISA card.
On your VISA card, all that is needed online to withdraw money is the card number, expiration date, name on card and CVC code. These, if someone has 5 secs with your card, all they need is taking a photo of it and chill. Then can empty it.
Mistake most Ugandans do with their VISA cards is moving with it anywhere, use it to pay anywhere. In clubs, you give it to waiters and you continue drinking.
At fuel stations, you give it out and go to pee, even at home. You go with it in your bag to work.
ALL IT TAKES IS SOMEONE HAVING ITS PHOTO.
Not siding with any bank, but we need to understand security first. Never leave anyone with your card, not even for a second.
2: Bank security 2
If you use mobile banking or internet banking, never install unknown applications on your phone. Many people install Cracked versions of YouTube premium, Spotify premium etc but these are trojanized applications.
They are embedded with listeners and codes that can screenshot, read and upload info from your phone to the hackers computer including your phone password, password you use to login, read your cache Data and even access your emails. Now days passwords are saved on phone. Even when you use a 2F auth, they can read an sms sent to your phone via this method.
They're so many ways your money can be stolen and the bank isn't to blame, I'm not saying there's no ways a bank is to blame.
If you choose to go e-banking, make sure you know what security means.

It's time for Africa to take its destiny into her hands by considering what aligns financial flows in ways that promote inclusive development & sustainable structural transformation of the continent without worsening its vulnerabilities. #AfricaRuleMaker#AfCoDDIII
@rkabushenga@DianaAtwine@HerbertLuswata@NalukwagoJudith Systems problem require systems solution. We need to be critical thinkers and understand the root cause of the challenges existing.

It's never an ending journey for me when it comes to media. As media evolves l evolve to become a better story teller. To speak of the inequities that affect the health and well being of the vulnerable. I am media and media is me. I got a grip of this wheel. Inequity on the run
