We believe every young person deserves the confidence and safety that comes with knowing how to swim.

Our instructors work hands-on with students, guiding them through floating techniques, building trust in the water, and helping them overcome fear one stroke at a time.

During his support supervision visit, the LC5 Chairman of Masaka District, Hon. Kakade John, took time to check out the work of the Drowning Prevention Team in the district. He commended the team's efforts in skilling communities with swim and water safety skills as a practical way of reducing drowning cases in Masaka.

Investing in drowning prevention is one of the smartest public health investments a country can make. Most proven solutions are low-cost and ready to scale.

Studies show that scaling just two- supervised childcare and child swim education could save hundreds of thousands of lives, delivering an impressive return on investment.#DrowningPreventionDay2026 School Outreach St Mugagga Vocational Sec School, Kkindu Masaka

Cardiopulmonary Resuscitation (CPR) training is one of the simplest, most powerful tools we have; the difference between life and death often comes down to whether someone nearby knows how to respond in those first critical minutes.

Swimming isn’t a luxury; it’s a community benefit to safety. Every stroke learned is a life that could be saved, not just one’s own, but a friend’s, a neighbor’s, a stranger’s.

A community that swims safely is a community that survives. #DrowningPreventionDay2026 School Outreach St Mugagga Vocational Sec School, Kkindu Masaka

"Save without risking your life." That's the golden rule of water rescue. Reach, throw, don't go: use a rope, a pole, a floating object, anything within arm's length before entering the water yourself.

Many well-meaning rescuers have drowned trying to save someone without the right technique or training. Be smart. Be trained. Save a life without losing your own.

Ignorance can be misleading, especially when it comes to knowing when it’s safe to be in water. This is even more concerning for fishmongers, who spend most of their working lives near or on water.

Sadly, statistics show that the majority of them don’t even know how to swim. #DrowningPreventionDay2026 School Outreach at Rakai Primary School #DrowningPrevention #OmanyiOkuwuga #TulwanyiseOkubbira

Drowning is a deeply unequal crisis.

Nine in ten drowning deaths happen in low- and middle-income countries, yet it takes just ONE skill to change that statistic: swimming.

Every child taught to swim is a life protected. Every community equipped with water safety skills is a tragedy prevented.
Let’s close the gap. Let’s teach the skill that saves lives.

“Safety on the water starts with responsible choices. Fishmongers should avoid going to the lake at night or after 5 PM. Protecting your life begins with making safe decisions.” Nsamba Robert, Rakai.

I am in Nairobi for #SEGAL2026! 🇰🇪

This week is all about what’s next for @reachahand. We are here to drive conversations around: youth livelihoods, Sexual Reproductive Health advocacy, innovative health communication, and movement building.

For us, #TheNextBeat means moving past the talk and ensuring resources directly back local implementation on the ground.

I’m looking forward to sharing our model, exchanging notes with fellow visionaries, and building real collaborations that scale impact for young people across the continent.

If you are at the convening, let’s connect and make things happen.

[Reach A Hand Africa @reachahand]

Drowning prevention takes all of us.

From families and communities to institutions and leaders, every action matters. In Rakai, the message is clear: knowing how to swim is not just a skill; it is a lifesaving tool that protects us and those around us.

"Building youth influence requires consistency in giving young people the opportunity to be a part of decision-making spaces." -- Gypsi Aguilar, Vice President at Hablemos Sin Tabúes in Peru at the Billi Now Now pre-youth summit webinar.

Children pay the heaviest price.

Growing up around water doesn’t mean one knows how to swim. Water safety is a lifesaving skill every child deserves to learn.

At Rakai Primary School, the question was simple: Omanyi Okuwuga?
