Some tragedies do not end when the waters grow calm. For the families who lost loved ones in the MV Templer boat accident, the pain remains, the memories live on, and the need for safer waters is as urgent as ever.
On 24 November 2018, Lake Victoria witnessed a tragedy that changed countless lives. Remembering those lost means more than looking back; it means carrying their stories forward and confronting the lessons we must learn to prevent similar tragedies.
This Friday, we premiere Balance the Boat, a docufilm that revisits this painful chapter through the stories behind the tragedy. It honours the lives affected while calling attention to the importance of drowning prevention, water safety, and our collective responsibility to protect lives.

Plenty can make us proud, while lack can leave us anxious. But here's the truth: God owns it all.
Trust Him in every season. Steward what He's entrusted to you with integrity. Give joyfully. Remain faithful.
God gave us His very best—Jesus—so we could rest in His love.
True financial shalom isn't found in how much we have, but in whom we trust.
Will you choose to rest in Him today?

At one of our post events, Tonyii and Jelimo empowered the amazing girls of Climate Skaters Kiteezi teaching them to assemble their boards, sharing skating basics and tricks, and offering lessons for life beyond the sport. In Frame 2.
Mama Aminah kept the energy alive on the deck. Grateful for friendships and collaborations like these.
Btw, the Tote bag in frame 3 was my gift from Goddess’s limited edition collection.
Excited to share that I've applied for the Youth Action Summit 2027 in Berlin, Germany😁

Looking at Prof @ReachDrMuganga break down at his parents graves to prove Ugandans that he is ugandan 🇺🇬 is the most heartbreaking thing I have experienced as a patriot, it’s not about ministry but to feel at home in a society that is driscriminating his identity
You people!
Protect your relationship more than you promote it. Focus on what happens between you and your partner, not what happens on your timeline.

Given how much the WHO oversold during COVID, it’s probably wise to take these Ebola announcement with a grain of salt, considering Uganda is among the countries with the most real experience handling outbreaks. If things were truly spiraling, we’d likely be seeing it on ground.
"He didn't break the law out of greed. He broke it out of love. Standing in court, head in his hands, shivering in an orange jumpsuit, he looked like just another criminal facing fraud charges. But the file on the judge's desk told a different story. He'd written a bad check for thousands of dollars. Not for a new car or a vacation, but at a pharmacy counter. When the insurance company denied his mother's life-saving medication, panic took over. He knew the check would bounce, but he also knew it was the only way to get the medicine she needed to survive the week. Now, he faced prison time for that desperation. And as he stood there weeping, his only thought wasn't about jail, but about who would take care of her if he was gone. He braced himself for sentencing. But the judge didn't bring down his gavel. In a moment that stunned the entire room, she stood, leaned across the bench, and wrapped her arms around him. She didn't see a con artist; she saw a loving son pushed to the brink. Holding his face in her hands, she looked him in the eye and delivered the life-changing verdict: 'It's over. I'm dropping the charges. You deserve a second chance, and I believe you can take advantage of it.' She didn't just give him back his freedom; she gave him the challenge of going home, taking care of his family, and making this mercy matter. Sometimes, justice isn't just about punishment. It's about understanding. Do you think the judge made the right decision by looking at the 'why' instead of just the 'what'?"
