@BagumaRT @UrugwiroVillage 👏👏👏👏

@UrugwiroVillage @PolicyUganda come here small small!! @UrugwiroVillage has a great message!!

“As young people, we need you. We love you. But first and foremost, take care of yourselves. This religion of alcohol, I think people even recruit others into it. Alcohol is killing you. It’s killing young people. The older ones are already gone. It has killed so many older people like us. Others are already on that same path and seem unable to stop. But I want to warn you and beg you: everything we have been talking about, what brought you here, and the plans we have for our country, this thing will kill you before you realise your ambitions.” President Kagame |#MeetThePresident Indangamirwa 16th Cohort

New paper published! Using #Photovoice, young #women in #Kampala reveal the #alcohol paradox: supporting livelihoods while contributing to violence, insecurity, financial strain, and psychological distress. #PublicHealth #TOPOWAproject @uydel_2019 #Uganda doi.org/10.3390/ijerph…

UYDEL reached 150 students at Nakabugu Parents High School, Luuka District with interactive sessions on drug & substance use prevention, crime prevention, violence prevention, and resisting negative peer influence. Through role plays, group discussions, and the Kiwi Bird prevention video, learners gained practical life skills. A Peace Club was also launched to champion peace, positive choices, and peer-led prevention in the school.

As you swim today, ensure that you haven't consumed any drugs before getting in the water and while swimming. Drugs seriously compromise human judgement and easily lead to a catastrophe. #vision2030hab Photo credit: @ASU
