Dear techies, In a few hours, we close the doors of acceptance to Cohort 9.
Don't miss the opportunity. If you applied, check your Emails for the details we sent to you.
@NewTimesRwanda Thank you so much for sharing my feature and helping amplify this important conversation. I truly appreciate your support. Together, we can encourage more people to look beyond the smile, listen with empathy, and ensure children receive the early support they deserve.💚
A new continent-wide campaign is challenging African families, schools and communities to look past what children do, and start asking what they may be trying to say.

Honoured to be featured in the July 2026 edition of Pan African Visions Magazine.
The interview explores Africa’s youth mental-health crisis and how SereniMind is using technology, advocacy and community to expand support.
Thank you @adumbula and @Panafricvisions.

The awareness gap around child emotional wellbeing in Uganda is not primarily a clinical problem — it is a communication problem.
Most parents and teachers do not know what to look for. Most communities do not have the language for emotional distress.
Children experience many of the same emotions as adults. They worry, grieve, become anxious, experience disappointment, and sometimes feel lonely. The difference is that children often lack the words to describe these emotions.
Uganda is a country that cares deeply about its future. That is exactly why this campaign belongs here.
We believe Uganda’s children deserve to have their emotional lives taken as seriously as their school results.
According to the World Health Organisation, 1 in 7 adolescents aged 10 to 19 globally experiences a mental health condition. In sub-Saharan Africa, prevalence rates for depression, anxiety and emotional difficulties among young people exceed global averages.
