Just children being children😊. Some of the best moments from the Advocacy Camp were simply watching them have a good time together.

Yesterday, the elected leaders during the Children Advocacy Camp gathered for an orientation among themselves. It was inspiring to witness young people stepping forward, guiding one another and strengthening a space where every child’s voice matters.

Yesterday, the @lgrb_uganda team engaged officials from @UgandaCRNN led by Executive Director @damonwamara, to discuss initiatives to curb underage gaming.

"Imagine a 13-year-old girl. She wakes before sunrise… not for school, but to walk long distances in search of water.

By the time she returns, the school day has begun… or her energy is gone."

Excerpt of @G_MachelTrust Statement at #ACERWC47

[ACERWC @acerwc]

2/2 In #Uganda, while about 81% of households have access to improved water sources, only 43.6% have access to improved sanitation, with disparities more pronounced in rural areas. These gaps continue to expose children and undermine their full development."

#UCRNN Statement

[ACERWC @acerwc]

🧵1/2 "As the continent advances the #DAC2026 theme, “Ensuring universal access to water, sanitation and hygiene for every child in Africa,” UCRNN acknowledges the centrality of WASH to the realization of children’s rights, particularly their survival, development, and dignity.
