“There is no greater pillar of stability than a strong, free, and educated woman.”
Let's support and show these girls that their dreams are valid. Help keep more girls in school in 2022!

As a Senior Consultant, the reason I haven't raised my voice is simple:
When the interns are gone, I will gladly show up at 5AM, clerk 80 patients, draw the blood, and run the night calls myself.
I am superhuman. Obviously.
As a Senior Nursing Officer, the reason I am silent is obvious:
I have no problem running three wards alone, fixing lines, tracking vitals, delivering babies, doing the paperwork.
I don't need hands. I have dedication.
As a Policymaker, the reason I haven't spoken is elegant:
The interns are a budget problem I solved by terming the students.
My children are not doing internship in Uganda, after all.
As a Patient, the reason I haven't complained is clear:
Even if the doctor cutting me open has worked 36 hours without food, just cut me open and take the baby out.
Hunger sharpens the hands. Everyone knows this.
As a Citizen, the reason I am unbothered is rational:
None of my children is a medic.
I have my pastor.
The system runs on miracles. Always has.
This policy is brilliant.
Let's all stay quiet and watch the magic happen.
I have two daughters, 7 and 5.
The best life advice I can ever give them is the way I treat their mother.
One day, a man will walk into their lives. The standard they’ll measure him against is the one I set in this house.
There is no better advice than letting your daughters or son watch you model what a good marriage looks like.
@GODFREY_Kutesa A peaceful home needs respect from both sides, not silence from one side only. Keeping calm during anger is wise, but marriage should never become a competition of who must always submit and who must always dominate.
20 years of faithfulness!
Today I celebrate and congratulate my honey on 20 years of marriage. Today we celebrate 20 years of being happily naked and unashamed before each other.
Here are some of the things that have helped us grow to this point: faithfulness, great conversations, generosity, great sex and God.
God: All through, it’s been God. Looking at the way we met - two different people from different backgrounds bonding and seamlessly becoming one - it can only be God’s doing. He has been our anchor in everything we’re doing and aspire for. Our shared faith makes the journey more enjoyable. And with God at the heart of our relationship, we are stronger. As they say, a cord of 3 isn’t easily broken.
Faithfulness: One of the 11 songs that played on our wedding day was “I Promise” by Cece Winans. It was a mutual choice. Here are part of the lyrics…
“Everything I have is yours
You're everything I prayed and waited for
And my love, I promise you.”
That was a promise we made to each other and it’s a promise that we try to keep to each other every day, in everything. It’s a promise which has helped us stay faithful, financially transparent, spiritually honest, and on the same page of parenting. I am never worried of where she is, whom she’s meeting and to whom she sent money or what was she is looking for on my phone.
She’s so faithful, trustworthy and diligent. So she keeps all the money, the ATM cards and passwords; my job is to ensure everything is working and we are on track to meet our goals. That peace is irreplaceable.
Generosity: In the last 20 years, this girl has taught me the difference between stewardship and generosity. Guys if I wasn’t married to Carol, I wouldn’t be broke but I don’t think I would have been able to achieve what we’ve achieved. Before we met I used to think I was generous, helping and sharing with those in need. But I was too random and lacked purpose. Then Carol entered the room. Then we talked and decided to keep track of every single coin we earned, our responsibilities, and our financial goals including our giving. And that discipline has helped us to support more people, be more generous and I think be better stewards of what God has blessed us with.
Conversation: From the very first day I talked to this girl, our conversations have never stopped. We can talk! Every time I go anywhere, I can’t wait to get back and talk to my baby. Chick has grown to understand and enjoy conversations about football, politics, conspiracies, and walking, just like I have grown to enjoy stories of wedding dresses, cooking, books and all things girls talk about. When I miss chatting with her after an early morning and a long day, the following day, I squeeze in a moment to call her to catch up. And sometimes a long conversation in the night while cuddling hasn’t been a great contraceptive.
Great sex: In our early years, we discovered the sweetest way to conclude our “peace talks” was making love. Whether it’s journeying through a rough patch or preparing for a major business meeting, lovemaking has the power of calming down everything and put us in the right mood for any battle. And over the years I can say, those regular moments between the two of us are indeed the glue of our relationship.
Girl, you’re still the one I want to walk with for the rest of my life.
Those of us who believe in women empowerment and the liberated girl-child @SueNsibirwa@asiimwe4justice let us save this girl from male chauvinism and Kamanyiiro. Let us find her a sports bike that is all this very well empowered girl needs not this nonsense that she should not ride because she is a girl. Get her a bike that will make her riding even much "KOOLER" This "Gender-izing" a means of transport MUST be Delt with RIGHT NOW. She must be on a Boda boa because she is a girl. Absolute NONSENSE. Next they will send her away from a boardroom because she is a woman. These men who sit in a board room with a young, intelligent lady on the board and ask that she serves them tea because she is the only lady in the room.
Each license hospital & child birthing center in the country should have a computer connected to this system to register babies born in real time with details such as height, weight, time (hrs, mins and secs). Every mother then receives an email with the certificate after 7days.
