Wheels for Change Update! We’ve raised just over 20% toward a new bus for Kathy’s Kindergarten. But the current one keeps breaking down, leaving kids stranded. A new bus = safer, faster school runs. Campaign is still on—your support matters! Donate now. justgiving.com/campaign/act4a…

Derrick, a student from Bunya SS, talks about Health Club, an initiative introduced to the school by Act4Africa with support from @CARE International in Uganda.

With @CAREUganda's support, Act4Africa held an SRHR session at Bunya SS, Mayuge. Josephine urged peers to avoid relationships, while Derrick, S.3, shared how he learned to make pads—and now teaches his sister! Real impact, real change! #SRHR #YouthVoices #MenstrualHealth

At 16, Eresi left a forced marriage to return to school after hearing a life-changing message from Act4Africa’s peer educator, Julius. Now a mat weaver, student, and mom, she dreams of becoming a nurse to help others like her. Empower girls. Change lives. #Act4Africa #SRHR

19-year-old blind mother, Fazira, makes mandazi to support her child, despite daily risks of fraud, burns, etc. Trained by Act4Africa, she now aspires to own a bakery. Her courage is unmatched. Read more about Fazira’s inspiring journey: act4africa.org/2025/07/01/fro… #DisabilityRights

In the fight against climate change & biodiversity loss, Act4Africa, Opportunity Bank & Lukango Tree Conservancy planted 50 indigenous trees at Kathy Kindergarten. Children joined in, planting threatened species like mvule & mahogany—learning conservation early. Big thanks, Team!

From delivering with a traditional birth attendant to giving birth safely at a health centre, Sirina’s life transformed thru the EYE Project. “Now I have plans.” Empowered with knowledge, savings, and confidence, she now champions safe deliveries and child spacing in her village.

From dreamer to doer! At 21, Damali had sewing skills but no capital. Through YCBT and YSLA, she got training, a loan, and support. Now she’s saving, growing her client base, and building a future! Thanks to Act4Africa and CARE International Uganda. #WomenInBusiness #SuccessStory

“I turned my lodge into a poultry house after joining the Role Model Men Programme,” says Tifu. “Ten girls got pregnant and only knew me, not the boys. I regret this. Now I run a business, pay my fees, and teach youth to avoid risky behaviour. We must all be agents of change.”

We're so grateful to the Lancashire Telegraph for featuring our minibus fundraiser for Kathy’s Kindergarten in Uganda and our amazing volunteer Max Roddick for making it happen. Every step brings us closer to better education access in Mayuge Read more: lancashiretelegraph.co.uk/news/25166227.…
