Love, solidarity, and partnership in action. ❤️🌹 Today we were deeply touched to receive this beautiful Valentine’s gift from our partners at the @SRHRAllianceUg Beyond the flowers and the thoughtful card, this gesture represents something far greater, trust, collaboration, and a shared commitment to advancing sexual and reproductive health and rights in challenging times. In a season where our work often demands resilience, courage, and long hours, it is moments like this that remind us we are not alone. Strong partnerships are built not only in strategy rooms and board meetings, but also in appreciation, care, and mutual respect. To the @SRHRAllianceUg team, thank you for walking this journey with us. Your solidarity strengthens our resolve to continue advocating, protecting gains, and pushing forward for communities whose rights and health matter every single day. Here’s to partnerships rooted in purpose — and powered by love. 💐✨

Today is International Condom Day 💙 As we head into Valentine’s and the long weekend, celebrate love with care, consent & protection. Condoms prevent HIV, STIs & unintended pregnancy. Keep calm, carry one and #JustUseIt.❤️

Communities are saving lives every day. Community-led shelters, clinics, and peer networks reach key populations where others cannot. Funding and protecting these services is essential to ending AIDS and strengthening public health. #LetCommunitiesLead 💜🌍

The sudden passing of @JoanAmek has left our community shaken and heartbroken. Joan led @RellaWFug with courage, care, and conviction, and her work transformed lives. We mourn her deeply and commit to carrying her legacy forward.

The urgency of securing sustainable funding for life-saving healthcare—especially for key populations—cannot be overstated. Global aid uncertainty and shifting policies threaten essential programmes and put millions at risk. We must act now.

@IBUForTheFuture ❤️🧡💛💚💜

Funding cuts are not abstract. They directly threaten the health, safety, and survival of key populations. When resources shrink, services disappear, risks increase, and communities are left exposed. The evidence is clear and the time to act is now. Read our No Time to Wait report to understand what is at stake and why sustained investment matters for public health and human rights. 📄⚠️ 👉🏽 ugandakpc.org/reports/no-tim…

HIV prevention works best when it is accessible, affordable, and grounded in community realities. For key populations, PrEP provides nearly 100% protection against HIV when taken correctly 💊 yet access remains uneven due to stigma, cost, and policy barriers. Making PrEP widely available is not just a health priority, it is an issue of equity, dignity, and public health leadership. When key populations are protected, entire communities are stronger 🌍✨

Wherever you are, and however you choose to spend this time, we hope you find moments of rest, care, and connection, even in small ways. Your courage, resilience, and presence continue to matter, not just during the holidays, but every day. Take care of yourselves and one another. Stay safe. We look forward to continuing this journey together in the new year. Happy Holidays 💛
