Bullying and misinformation can make life harder for children and young people living with Type 1 Diabetes. Teach children that T1D is not contagious and that classmates managing it deserve friendship, dignity and inclusion. #Type1DiabetesAwareness @WHO

We were excited to host @EndPlasticsNow at our organization, where they actively engaged our staff and students in vital discussions about zero-waste practices and the importance of going plastic-free. They shared crucial insights into the science behind plastics and the significant harm they cause to both people and the planet.

When people no longer know what is right or wrong, honesty becomes rare and highly respected. Always choose to tell the truth.

Our DREAM Girls in our vocational training program are learning practical financial literacy through fun, interactive savings board games. Many of these young women faced significant challenges early in life, including dropping out of school due to poverty, early pregnancies, and other hardships. Today, they are rebuilding their futures by gaining vocational skills and learning the importance of saving, budgeting, and planning for tomorrow. By equipping them with financial knowledge alongside practical skills, we are empowering them to become confident, independent, and resilient women capable of creating brighter futures for themselves and their families.

Yesterday marked a significant milestone as we proudly signed our MOU with Nakaseke District. This partnership underscores our commitment to enhancing service delivery and fostering positive change within the community.

Medical personnel are the backbone of every healthy society. Human Development Theory reminds us that people have different health needs at every stage of life....from newborns and children to adolescents, adults, and older persons. Doctors, nurses, midwives, pharmacists, and other healthcare professionals are trained to understand these changing needs and provide care that helps individuals reach their full potential. Supporting medical personnel means investing in better training, fair working conditions, adequate medical supplies, mental health support, and opportunities for continuous learning. When healthcare workers are equipped and valued, they can provide safer, more compassionate, and more effective care. Strong healthcare professionals lead to healthier families, healthier children, and more resilient communities. A nation that supports its medical personnel is investing in its own future. Every life saved, every disease prevented, every mother cared for, and every child given a healthy start reflects the dedication of healthcare workers. By standing with our medical professionals, we strengthen not only our health systems but also the human development of our entire society.

Our ACCESS team had a meaningful day empowering young girls through education on the myths and facts of sexual and reproductive health, menstrual hygiene, and hands-on training in making reusable menstrual pads
