Today @Aider_Org was in the room.
Our ED, Ismail , joined the panel at @CavendishUg for a Conference
Every time a RLO sits at that table , the conversation changes. That is why we do this work. Organised by Cavendish University Uganda and Konrad Adenauer Stiftung.

__________Happening Now____________

Proud to be a panelist at @CavendishUg for the Conference — "Refugees in Uganda's Universities: Asylum Status, Protection Challenges, and the Right to Education."
Today we are speaking directly about the barriers refugee students face in accessing and completing higher education in Uganda — and more importantly, what needs to change.
Thank you to Konrad Adenauer Stiftung for creating this space. These conversations matter.

This is the work. 45 RLO leaders walking away sharper on the legal frameworks that protect their communities — that is exactly what the movement needs. RELON is holding the line. 🔥

RLOs have always been on the front line. The missing piece has never been commitment. It has been knowledge.
When you give an RLO leader the legal tools to understand and defend refugee rights you multiply the impact of everything they are already doing.
@relonuganda well done.

[Refugee-Led Organization Network(RELON) @relonuganda]

We have kicked off a 3-day training in Refugee Rights for RLO leaders in West Nile region.

The training is designed to strengthen the capacity of RLO leaders by equipping them with a clear understanding of both international and national refugee legal frameworks.

Happy International Workers' Day!
we honour every refugee who wakes up and works formally or informally, recognised or invisible, paid fairly or not at all. Refugees do not just want jobs. They want the dignity that comes with earning their own way. Today belongs to them too

[Refugee-Led Organization Network(RELON) @relonuganda]

[Refugee-Led Organization Network(RELON) @relonuganda]

Refugee-Led Organizations are often the unsung heroes of humanitarian response.

Always present, delivering timely, relevant & inclusive services; especially for urban refugee communities.

Well done @Aider_Org for leading by example.

[AIDER REFUGEE INITIATIVE @Aider_Org]

This is what refugee-led community outreach looks like in urban Kampala. No big offices. No expensive consultants. Just people who care about the community showing up where the community actually is.
we have been doing this work every single day. And we will keep doing it.

[AIDER REFUGEE INITIATIVE @Aider_Org]

our ED @Ismail_Saxafi1 represented @Aider_Org at the stakeholders engagement for the Master of Coordinated Humanitarian Response, l @Makerere When you include refugees in designing the solutions the outcomes are better. Faster. More sustainable. Less wasteful.

[AIDER REFUGEE INITIATIVE @Aider_Org]

Referrals save lives. Proper reporting protects children. Our team now knows how to do both. Two days of training with AWYAD and they came back stronger. This is what community protection looks like.

@AishaSalwe52589 and Afaf Ahmed

[AIDER REFUGEE INITIATIVE @Aider_Org]

When a child is in danger or a woman is being abused the community needs someone who knows how to respond. That is exactly what our team learned this week. This two days training was led by AWYAD @SadiyaAbdi250 and Aminah Ahmet

[Refugee-Led Organization Network(RELON) @relonuganda]

Thank you @Ismail_Saxafi1 for this powerful piece. It highlights an urgent truth: refugees in Uganda have the skills & right to work

At @relonuganda, we remain committed to advocating for policies & systems that turn this right into reality.

[ISMAIL SAXAFI @Ismail_Saxafi1]

I'm Honoured to have my article published in the @DailyMonitor
today! 🗞️

Refugees in Uganda have the skills, the will, and the right to work. It is time that right becomes a reality.

This piece is close to my heart, as an advocate, and as someone who believes that dignity includes the freedom to earn a living.

Thank you to the incredible team at @RefugeesIntl for your support every step of the way.

Millions of dollars are spent. But where does the impact go? The answer is simple. Nobody asked the refugees. Listen to them. Hear what is in their hearts. Adapt the response accordingly.

That is how you save millions. That is how you create real impact. @UNHCRuganda
