#MondayMotivation: Did you know that Periods shouldn't pause dreams?
Every month, thousands of girls across Uganda miss school because of stigma and lack of access to menstrual health products.
When young people have accurate information, safe spaces, that enable them to menstruate with dignity, they stay in school, speak up, and lead.

Your health can’t wait. Knowing your HIV status is the first step toward a long, healthy life and protecting those you love. Every second counts. Take control of your future and get tested today. EndAIDS2030Ug. EverySecondCounts.

Every shift starts with a conversation.
A question is asked. A skill is shared. A patient is protected.
We learn from each other so young people get better care tomorrow than they did yesterday.
To every health worker mentoring, listening, and showing up: your time is the medicine.

If we are serious about reducing teenage pregnancy and improving maternal health outcomes, we must invest in spaces where young people are treated as rights–holders, not risks. We must fund and scale peer – led platforms that centre youth Voices, respect confidentiality, and deliver accurate information without judgment. Maiso Keffah, VHT Kamonkoli sub-county, Budaka.

@uyahf1 @Mglsd_UG @MinofHealthUG @MakerereCHS @UGHighCommLDN @ahfugandacares @mutungi_rodney @praise_mwesiga @LillianAber Absolutely. IEHS Project evidence: young mother/father forums = voluntary family planning uptake AND young fathers staying in school while attending sessions. Some now in final year. Treat youth as rights-holders. Peer-led works. @MinofHealthUG @Educ_SportsUG @germandoctorske

@uyahf1 Exactly. And our M&E data confirms it: when boys are part of the solution, menstrual health becomes everyone's business. Dignity isn't a girls' issue. It's a school health issue. Team effort, team impact.#MenstrualDignity

[UYAHF @uyahf1]

Menstrual dignity takes a team.
Boys in Eastern Uganda are learning Menstrual Hygiene Management, stocking school washrooms, buying pads, and speaking up. That’s not “helping girls.” That’s building health for all.

He is Risen, indeed He is!

As we celebrate the ressurection of Jesus Christ, we are filled with hope and joy. At Uganda Youth and Adolesecnts Health Forum, we draw inspiration from this powerful symbol of renewal and redemption.

Just as Jesus brought light to the world, we strive to shine a light on the importance of health and inclusivity in our communities. We work tirelessly to ensure that everyone, especially the most vulnerable, has access to quality health.

Wishing you a blessed Easter filled with peace, love, and hope. May the risen Christ inspire us to be agents of change and compassion.

As we commemorate Liberation Day, we reflect on Uganda’s resilience, freedom, and unity as the foundation of peace and tranquility.

Through unity and peace, we are creating opportunities for young people to innovate, take charge of their future, and contribute to a stable, self-reliant Uganda.

Closing the 3-day Capacity Building Workshop on Advocacy to #EndChildMarriage and Teenage Pregnancies, organized by CEDOVIP yesterday, marked an important first step in strengthening the capacity of participants @GirlsNotBrides and @uyahf1 to design and implement effective advocacy interventions, mobilize communities, and champion policy changes that uphold and advance the rights of girls.

We are confident that the knowledge and skills gained throughout this workshop will significantly contribute to ongoing efforts to reduce child marriage and teenage pregnancies within our communities.

We commend CEDOVIP for organizing such an engaging and insightful workshop, and we look forward to witnessing the positive impact of this initiative in the months to come. Thanks to all participants for their active engagement, collaboration, and unwavering commitment to ending child marriage and teenage pregnancies.

Together, we stand steadfast in our shared vision of creating a world where every girl can thrive, realize her potential, and live free from all forms of violence and discrimination.

Today, we were delighted to host Ms. Freya Fischer, the Project Coordinator of the #IEHS Project on behalf of German Doctors. The visit began at the Mbale Field Office where lots of discussions happened including the work planning for the next project phase basing on what the project has been able to achieve so far. The team later proceeded to Kebula Health Centre III in Budaka where they met the facility team including the VHTs and had insightful conversations.

Still at Kebula, a dialogue was held on the impact of the IEHS Project, highlighting ongoing activities, key challenges, and strategies to strengthen coordination between @UYAHF, @GermanDoctors, and the participating health facilities going forward.

Ms. Naula Doreen, the facility in-charge expressed mutual appreciation for the strong partnership and collaboration. She on behalf of the team acknowledged the project’s significant contribution to improving maternal health indicators at the facility, promoting family planning, and addressing teenage pregnancy within the community.

Tomorrow we continue with Freya’s visit to the DHO and Young Mother’s Forums in Bukedea, keep tuned for the highlights💪

IEHS Project, a hope that Transforms Lives with every Medical Camp. Keeping on course!

Since the inception of our partnership with the volunteer @GermanDoctors, our community medical camps have provided quality healthcare services to over 9,973 patients. Through the Inclusive Equitable Health Service (IEHS) Project, we have offered essential medical services, including HIV, syphilis, and malaria testing and treatment, alongside care for a wide range of other medical conditions.

Yesterday at Kabuna Church of Uganda, our volunteer German Doctors, Dr. Corrine Wyder and Dr. Alexa Krumme saved lives. The mobile clinic quickly became a beacon of hope as hundreds of patients flocked to receive medical attention for various ailments.

Among the most commonly addressed conditions were acute malaria, skin diseases such as Tinea capitis, scabies, urinary tract infections (UTIs), and H. pylori infections, among others. Despite the overwhelming turnout, our team worked tirelessly to attend to as many patients as possible impacting over 259 lives.

Beyond physical illness, the medical team observed that mental health challenges continue to significantly affect community wellbeing. This reinforces the need for holistic healthcare approaches, where emotional and psychological support complement medical treatment.

Each camp reaffirms our shared commitment to saving lives, alleviating suffering, and bringing essential healthcare closer to those who need it most. Together, we continue to make a lasting difference, one community at a time.

Super exciting week ahead!
We’re thrilled to be onboarding our 5th cohort of volunteer @germandoctorske supporting the IEHS Project in Uganda! This orientation and introductory session mark the start of their 6-week stay, a vital opportunity to deepen their understanding of the diverse activities and interventions they’ll be engaging in.

The support from the Volunteer German Doctors is focused on strengthening the health care system and empowering communities through the IEHS Project, which works hand-in-hand with local health facilities and community structures.

Today’s agenda includes a courtesy visit to the District Health Office (DHO) and Budaka HCIV, where the team will gain first-hand insights into ongoing efforts and collaboration opportunities. We’re grateful for this continued partnership and look forward to another impactful 6 weeks of shared learning, service, and community impact.
