Thank you to the people and government of the United States 🇺🇸 for providing the UN Humanitarian Fund-Uganda envelope-with US$ 75 Million for life-saving aid for refugees, host communities as well as residents of Karamoja in 🇺🇬
A strong start lasts a lifetime.
It was an honour to witness the launch of Uganda’s Early Childhood Care and Education Policy.
@UNICEFUganda will continue to support efforts that expand access to quality early learning and care, especially for the most vulnerable children.
Vaccines remain one of the most powerful tools we have to protect children’s lives. #NoChild should suffer from diseases we know how to prevent.
We have the vaccines. We know they work.
Parents & caregivers: check your child’s immunization status & visit the nearest outreach.
“I listened to boda stories all the way home…up until vaccines became the topic.” 😅
Let’s be clear: vaccines are safe, effective, and they save children’s lives.
Don’t follow misinformation. Choose immunization.

Teenage pregnancy continues to disrupt girls’ education in Uganda.
We must do more to ensure every girl can stay in school, return after childbirth, and reach her full potential.
Every girl deserves that chance.

Deeply saddened by the tragic attacks on children in Kampala and Apac District. My heart goes out to the families who have lost their children & those whose children are recovering.
Schools must be safe spaces. We must act now to protect every child.
