Misconceptions about mental health are widespread. As @JackieChandiru mentioned, not all mental health issues are linked to substance use "Njaga". Many factors contribute to mental health challenges, including gender-based violence, HIV/AIDS stigmatization, sexual harassment, and more. Let's use this Mental Health Awareness Month to foster meaningful discussions and raise awareness about these issues. #MentalHealth4All #BilliNowNoW #IamBrave

Training about social media advocacy @ConcernsUganda in Jinja but also learning from each other through the discussions.

31 students successfully passed their DIT exams in Fashion and Hairdressing. They all got their certificates from the Directorate of Industrial Training, Ministry of Education and Sports.

“I usually make several folds from the tissue each time I am menstruating. The only time I use a sanitary pad is when I am going to school but I have to use tissue most of the time because there is no money to buy pads.” one of the girls we reached out too. #EndPeriodPoverty

In order to improve learning, this week we visited Bute Primary School, Wamulongo, Buwolua, Bukatabira, St Barbra and Sagitu Primary School in Mayuge District respectively. We assessed teacher's Pedagogical challenges and how they approach their teaching style.

In partnership - Elevate Partners - Education are implementing a Positive Deviance Program. The wisdom to improve learning resides in us. Earlier this week we conducted teacher to teacher support sessions in some of the selected Government Primary schools in Mayuge District

@RaisingTeensUg1 @AfriCoMHM Indeed, amplifying menstrual voices will not only create multi - awarness on pre and post management of MHM among young adolescents but also instill more confidence to handle external stigma from their surrounding environment.

Voices of Young people sharing their experiences of their 1st Period and how they felt: Amplifying voices of young people and capturing their concerns in regards to menstruation 🩸 is timely and equally importantly: #Mvoices ⁦@AfriCoMHM⁩ #EndPeriodPoverty

Menstrual hygiene is a human right and it's our duty to recognize it each day of our lives. Let's continue fighting the stigma around it so that our girls are able to confidently stay in school and fulfill all their dreams. It's a collaborative effort. #Hike4GirlsUg

Last year we helped the NGO VAO to build 7 toilets for the elementary school of Abrubruwa village 🇬🇭The project included awareness raising around the importance of sanitation, to involve the community in the implementation and create a sense of ownership 🚽

Wondering what we do at our learning center? Here's all the details about our Learning and Development Center and the Early Childhood Education program, by our volunteer Nele. lnkd.in/dV_utAmW @usmissionuganda @education_24x7 #childhoodeducation

Later, in the day the school Health Club was mobilized and taught new skills of making Liquid Soap as a way of promoting hygiene in bother school urinals and toilets but also enable them establish an income generating activity for school financial sustainability.

Meanwhile, since today is the IDAC2022 under the theme ,"Eliminating Harmful Practices Affecting Children: Progress on Policy & Practice since 2013". We had to integrate practices that affect children through emphasizing proper learning using sanitation and hygiene #IDAC2022

Earlier today, under (PHASH) Project in Promoting Health and Learning Through Sanitation and Hygiene with support from @EUCanAid We initiated a Community Health Campaign at Wabulungu Primary School in Mayuge District. #CCUgPhashProject #IDAC2022

@EliluLorenzo @action4hU Indeed, this will not only create male champions but also emphasis the point of responsibly raised future husbands acknowledging rights of both daughters and mothers ✍🏾

@action4hU In my opinion we need to engage more boy child in ending teenage pregnancy by empowering them

With teenage pregnancy numbers on the rise, we start our week thinking about what we do to lower the numbers?

It always start with what we teach our boys, am loving this💪💪 #empoweringboychild

This training involved boys as well as a way of raising responsible and respectable future husband to support women and their daughters

The skills acquired will not only enable them access sanitary pads at home even ever they need but also improve of concentration in class, improve performance and school retention. Access to reusable pads will also enhance pupil's social life and boost self esteem and confidence

As we combat Menstraual Stigma among school adolescents emphasising international access to free sanitary materials for all girls. Early this week we equiped over 120 pupils in both Wabulungu and Mugeya primary schools to make reusable pads. #MenstrualHygieneDay2022 #CCUgWASH
