TESTIMONY — LOOK WHAT THE LORD HAS DONE 🙏🏾🤎

One of these pictures was taken while I was still recovering after a diagnosis that had left me in a wheelchair for eight months.

The other is me today.

I am sharing them for the woman who is sick today, looking at her body and wondering, “Will I ever feel like myself again? Will I ever get back on my feet?”

I remember asking those same questions.

There was a time when I couldn’t walk normally. I couldn’t wear my heels. I couldn’t do many of the simple things I once took for granted. And when I finally began getting out of that wheelchair, I didn’t know what my future would look like.

But something happened to me in that season that went far beyond my physical body.

I got closer to God.

I prayed from that wheelchair.
I listened to sermons from that wheelchair.
I cried out to God from that wheelchair.
I learned to depend on Him from that wheelchair.

And little by little, my story began to change.

Today I can walk into a gym. I can exercise. I can walk freely. I can look at these pictures and sometimes even I have to remind myself where I came from.

Look what the Lord has done.

I believe in doctors. I believe in getting medical care and following appropriate treatment. Faith and medical care do not have to compete. But through my own journey, I also learned what it meant to pray, trust God and hold onto Him when I didn’t know what tomorrow would look like.

So to the woman going through her own difficult health season: please don’t give up. Get the care you need. Take things one day at a time. And if you believe in God, keep praying. Keep abiding. Keep trusting Him through the process.

I cannot promise you what your healing journey will look like, because every person’s story is different.

But I can tell you mine.

I was in a wheelchair for eight months.

Today, I walk.

And that is why nobody will ever make me ashamed to talk about God. I know what happened between Him and me in the season when very few people could see my struggle.

My testimony continues, and as long as God gives me something to testify about, I will keep telling it.

Maybe somebody else’s hope is waiting on the other side of my testimony. 🙏🏾🤎

…He which hath begun a good work in you will perform it…
— Philippians 1:6

THE KING REIGNS. 👑

This is my personal testimony and not medical advice. Please seek appropriate medical care for your own health needs.

The Urban Futures Project at Makerere university's Urban Action Lab has entered an exciting new phase of co-design.

Through community-led workshops, we are exploring how solid waste management, drainage, flooding, governance, health and livelihoods intersect in informal settlements and, importantly, what can be done differently.

Together with communities, we are identifying key actors, power dynamics, vulnerabilities, existing adaptation practices and opportunities for change.
The goal is simple: move beyond researching communities to designing solutions with them.

This week, I’m proud to host a Film Screening & Technical Review at @reachahand, bringing together the @MinofHealthUG (Health Promotion Department), @RHUganda, filmmakers, and civil society partners under the #MenPlusProject.

The films developed under this project use storytelling to spark honest conversations about men’s involvement in family planning, from condom use and vasectomy to actively supporting partners in accessing family planning services.

This screening goes beyond simply watching films. It’s about ensuring the stories we tell are accurate, responsible, and aligned with national health guidelines, while remaining relatable and relevant to the communities they are meant to serve.

With many men still believing that family planning causes infertility, goes against culture, or is “women’s business,” there is critical work to be done in shifting mindsets.

When done right, film has the power to inspire dialogue and contribute to healthier families and communities.

What else do you think can spark more conversations around men’s involvement in family planning?🤔

[Ministry of Lands,Housing and Urban Development @ministry_lands]

Yesterday, the Minister of Lands, Housing and Urban Development, Hon. @JudithNabakoob1 , addressed the media on the ongoing issues surrounding busuulu (annual ground rent) and the rights of bibanja holders across the country.

She reaffirmed that lawful and bona fide occupants are protected by the Constitution and the Land Act, and cannot be evicted as long as they have paid their annual ground rent. She reminded the public that busuulu is a fixed, nominal fee set by government — not negotiable between landlords and tenants — and the rates remain unchanged since 2011: UGX 50,000 in cities, UGX 40,000 in municipalities, UGX 30,000 in town councils, UGX 20,000 in town boards, and UGX 5,000 in rural areas.

To address concerns raised by tenants during the President’s recent tour, the Minister announced that a new government bank account had been created to allow tenants to deposit their busuulu in cases where landlords are absent or refuse to receive payment. This provides a legal alternative for tenants to fulfil their obligations and avoid forced evictions.

She also encouraged tenants to apply for Certificates of Occupancy — legal documents that officially recognize their rights to use the land. Over 96,000 bibanja have already been mapped, and more than 500 certificates have been issued in districts like Mubende, Mityana, Kassanda, Kiboga, and Gomba. This effort aims to reduce land disputes, particularly with new landlords, and help tenants transition from a subsistence to a market economy.

The Ministry also launched an online platform and mobile app where tenants can check the status of their Certificates of Occupancy alongside details of the registered landowner. This move is intended to protect tenants from fraud, illegal evictions, and the sale of land occupied under tenancy.

The Minister emphasized that government remains committed to securing the rights of bibanja holders through lawful means, and urged the public not to be misled by political messages that discourage participation in these programs.
