When Ebola resurfaced in Uganda, we moved fast.

Handwashing stations & sanitizers went up at our schools, healing centres, clinic, and offices. Every staff member in the field is equipped to stay safe.

But our Vocational Secondary School needs a stronger water pump to keep clean water flowing.

Clean water = safety.

In 2001, Our founder and CEO @Twejaka turned a $5,000 promise into a movement that has since raised over $150M and served over 86,000 AIDS orphans and vulnerable children.

1. A School for My Village, the founding promise.

2. Victory for My Village, scaling impact beyond education to grandmothers and healthcare.

3. Legacy for My Village, the culmination of two decades of community-driven development.

Launching August 7. A testament to the power of grassroots leadership and global partnership.

This National Heroes Day, we honor rural Uganda's everyday heroes:

1. Grandmothers who refused to let orphans starve
2. Single mothers who built from nothing
3. Children who chose hope

For 25 years, Nyaka has walked beside them. But they were heroes long before we arrived.

OPINION:

Parliament and National Theatre: Two identical twins separated by a road

"However, it now appears like Parliament wants to outshine the national theatre by becoming a temple of theatrics and demagoguery."

#SovereigntyBill
Legal protection or a deeper moral question?
Uganda’s proposed Protection of Sovereignty Bill, 2026, has sparked significant debate, raising critical questions about how sovereignty should be understood, protected and applied in today’s globalised world.

In this insightful analysis, @WalusansaBadru, our Policy Analyst, explores the tension between legal frameworks and the broader moral dimensions of sovereignty. While legislation may seek to safeguard national interests, the article highlights that true sovereignty extends beyond law, requiring strong institutions, economic resilience and a shared sense of patriotism among citizens.

The discussion challenges us to reflect: Can sovereignty be legislated or must it be built through capacity, identity and inclusive national development?
