AfriChild has officially assumed leadership of the Kulea Watoto Consortium. The leadership transition from the International Rescue Committee (@RESCUEorg) was completed successfully, and the Centre now leads the implementation of Phase 2 of the Early Childhood Development and Economic Recovery and Livelihood project in Uganda.

Health outreach works best where community trust already exists. At Otege Home Learning Centre (HLC) in Gulu District, @LABE_Ug, partnering with Awach Health Centre (HC) IV and the Village Health Team, held a health outreach offering malaria care, HIV testing and counseling, pregnancy testing, nutrition advice, de-worming, and general check-ups. These services go beyond learning, and support both children and adults. The turnout was so strong, the Health Department has been recommended to use HLCs as regular outreach points. That says it all. #HomeLearningCentres #CommunityHealth #IntegratedCommunityHealthServices

Parents + children + scrapbooks = something worth sharing. At six Home Learning Centres in Yumbe District: Avabe, Asianju, Ayiko, Hiday, Hope, and Bidibidi Happy, families are making A Book About Me, drawing emotions, big feelings, and everyday moments together. This is @LABE_Ug's adaptation of the Welcome Sesame Family Workshop, keeping early learning alive in families and communities. #ECD #Uganda #HomeBasedLearning #SocialEmotionalLearning

"Baba, take us to school." Every morning, Godfrey Makumai's children say these words, and for a father who once worried they had no ECD facility in their community, it means everything. Read his story from Royal Kids HLC, Adjumani 👉🏿labeuganda.org/our-children-c…

Eid Mubarak to all our friends, partners, and communities celebrating today. 🌙 May this day bring joy, peace, and togetherness to you and your families. From all of us at LABE Uganda, #EidMubarak #EidAlFitr

Last week, @LABE_Ug and partners under Kulea Watoto Project convened in Yumbe. We held a District & Community Engagement to facilitate the upgrade and integration of five Kulea Watoto-supported Home Learning Centres (HLCs) into the District Education System. Advocacy is most powerful when it moves from conversation to joint planning. #AdvocacyInAction #KuleaWatoto #YumbeDistrict #HomeBasedECD #Sustainability

In crises, children are at their most critical stage of growth. Yet programming for children is often siloed across critical needs. This #NutritionMonth, join @MovingMindsECD & @ResultsCanada for a solutions-focused webinar. Register: bit.ly/RCMMA2026

Participants can now produce hygiene items for HLCs and childcare centres, and use the same skills to earn income at home. "I can now make liquid soap and petroleum jelly on my own without any guidance. I will use this skill to make money for my family." - Aluwa Beatrice, New Star HLCMC, Ukusijoni Subcounty, Adjumani District. This is the two-generation approach in action: supporting children and the people who raise them, together. Supported by @UNICEFUganda. #ECD #Skilling #Parenting

Last week, @LABE_Ug, through the Strengthening Early Childhood & Childcare Services' Delivery project, facilitated parenting sessions in Yumbe and Adjumani, equipping adolescent mothers and caregivers with practical skills in liquid soap and petroleum jelly production.

And behind it all; the staff, board, Parent Educators, VSLAs, caregivers; are women who give every day so that others may gain. This is for them 🌸👉🏿labeuganda.org/when-women-lea… #GiveToGain #IWD2026 #LABEUganda

Obongi: The Lugbanga HLC community is gearing up for the district celebrations taking place at Rodo Primary School tomorrow. Even in our refugee-hosting communities, women's voices are front and centre. #IWD2026

This International Women's Day, @LABE_Ug's communities celebrated across regions. Here's how 👇🏿 Terego: The Alibajiako HLC Parent-Support Group (PSG) opened with a drama on inclusion for children with disabilities. Hon. Rose Obiga, Woman MP, Terego District, rallied women around economic empowerment. Partners from @UNHCRuganda, @OPMUganda, schools & local government joined in solidarity. #IWD2026

Our mission moves because women move it. Caregivers. Parent educators. Young facilitators. Staff. Community women. Give them opportunity, and the whole world gains. Happy #IWD2026 from @LABE_Ug. #GiveToGain #InternationalWomensDay #InternationalWomensDay2026

Happy Women's Day! #IWD2026
