In Uganda, mental health is a silent national emergency, with the 2024 Census showing 12% of Ugandans aged 10+ face psychological distress and studies showing up to 65% of school going adolescents struggle with anxiety and other challenges, driven by academic pressure, unemployment, poverty and gender based violence yet with less than 1% of the health budget allocated to it and only one psychiatrist per million people, most care is left to churches and traditional healers.
To change this we must de-stigmatize mental illness as a health issue decentralise care by training teachers, nannies and community leaders to identify and refer early, and innovate coping through youth friendly approaches like the model of using music, dance and movement to heal because in a country where 75% are under 30, mental wellness is not a luxury but the foundation of our future.
Come 18th Sept 2026 Makerere university @SweatTainment1 will be launching the initiative promoting mental health through physical exercise

Rooms like this remind me why I believe in our future. Young minds, diverse voices, and shared purpose gathered to learn, listen, and lead. This is more than a meeting . it’s the beginning of solutions, partnerships, and change for Uganda. When we invest in people, we invest in possibility and the future

X MONEY
The money came yesterday and the guy monetized my account arrived the country today morning.
We have arranged for a meeting tomorrow to discuss sharing opportunities. He is controlling income from my X page.
BUT
The income from X was serious the last 2 weeks, I think it’s because some of you roasted me a lot in these last 2 weeks.
