One of my students who's also a mother had take her test but has no babysitter. So I offered to babysit. We can't just be teaching childhood studies/development without practice & support @ITibasiima @mozeoketch

UPDATE: The Uganda Population-Based HIV Impact Assessment (UPHIA) 2025 report, released today by the Ministry of Health, indicates that HIV prevalence has remained at 5.9 percent, with significant regional variations. The South Western region recorded the highest prevalence. The report estimates that about 1.49 million Ugandans are living with HIV. Health Minister Dr Chris Baryomunsi explains more.

How do you get $3.5 billion raised in just 90 minutes? Well, one source casually pledged $800 million.
Here’s how the @GPforEducation replenishment “harambee” in New York went down

Every human being has equal value. Every single one.
At the United Nations General Assembly, I challenged a world that still decides whose lives deserve protection and whose suffering can be ignored.
No race is superior. No people are disposable. Until we honour that truth, "everywhere is war" remains a warning we have failed to heed.
What the world needs now is love, with the courage to confront injustice and defend our shared humanity.
Love and a little kindness. For everyone.

A miracle!
A boy raised by a poor crippled grandmother and blind mother in rural Uganda becoming a highly educated man, is nothing but a miracle. Look what GOD has done! I dedicate my PhD to SERVING others. I thank my family, friends and Southeastern University for their support

As former Tooro King Oyo Nyimba is buried today at the tender age of 34, we have to acknowledge the most unusual and surprising fact of his reign that only came into sight with his death; he occupied a place in Ugandan’s hearts that is several times bigger than the quiet relatively small kingdom he led. And he did it without getting in Ugandan’s faces, without noise, or drama. In fact, if truth be told, he did it while not trying to. The irony is that more powerful men and women, who’ve tried one million times harder, for more years, sent thousands to their graves and to gaol, and expended great treasure, will get nowhere near that, and could even end in ignominy instead. He probably didn’t even know it. And so, if one asked the famous Amama Mbabazi-derived question, “how did he did it?”, the only honest answer has to be that it is one of the great mysteries of these our lands. RIP

That nagging pain that feels like you were family. Memories from a distance that feel like you were so close. Royalty that came with unusual humility and low profile. No drama, no harm, no noise - just human.

Little People. Big Dreams.
We arrived bright and early this morning.
Doctors. Lawyers. Culinary artists. Creatives. Finance professionals. Organisational psychologists. Social workers. DJs. Nurses. Leaders. Marketers. Brand managers. Storytellers.
Different professions. Different journeys.
One purpose:
To walk with young dreamers.
To listen to their questions. To share something of our own journeys. To pay attention to what was said, and sometimes, what wasn’t.
There were little hands to hold. Small frames to hug.
And somewhere in all of it, many of us were transported back to when this was us, young dreamers, wondering what we would do with our lives.
I loved the honesty of two high-school students at my table.
“We don’t know what we want to be yet. We came for inspiration. Maybe something someone says here will trigger an idea.”
And we assured them: that’s okay.
Sometimes the dream is clear. Sometimes you are still looking for it. And even when you find it, dreams grow, change and refine themselves as we do.
What an honour to be invited by @galuifound, a community foundation rooted in Katwe, to be part of The Dream Walk.
There was something powerful about hosting the Dream Village right here in Katwe.
Because people may make assumptions about children growing up in low-income communities.
But these children have dreams. Hopes. Gifts. Questions. Aspirations.
Today, we did not come to give them dreams. The dreams were already there.
We simply came to walk alongside them for a little while, to listen, encourage and, maybe, make a possibility feel a little more possible.
To the young dreamers of Katwe, thank you for trusting us with your dreams and your questions.
May you keep dreaming.
May you encounter people who expand what you believe is possible.
And may the circumstances of today never determine the possibilities of tomorrow.
Dream on!

Man, this is truly one for the history books. I am utterly numb.
As ’90s kids, we were privileged to grow up in the presence of a monarch who was, in many ways, growing up alongside us.
Crowned king at just three years old following the passing of his father, he inherited not merely a throne, but the immense weight of a kingdom, a lineage and a legacy far greater than his years.
Yet he grew into that crown with remarkable dignity, stature and quiet authority. To lose him at just 34 is an unfathomable tragedy. We have lost not only a young king, but a remarkable chapter of our own generation’s story.
Some moments transcend words. Today, we mourn a king whose legacy will outlive his years.
Omukama Oyo, what a shocker. We held unto hope but the Lord called you back. We were an awesome person and King. We shall miss you. My condolences to you my brother @ITibasiima and all people of Tooro on the passing of our King.
Isaak @ITibasiima decoloniality without using our boorish academic rhetoric.
Valuing What Is Ours
Some people discover what they are meant to do remarkably early in life.
@yigart256 is one of them. He started drawing at the age of seven and, more than two decades later, he is still faithfully following that childhood calling.
I first met Joshua at the home of a mutual friend, where his work was on display. I peppered him with questions about the banana fibre dolls that feature so prominently in his art. I was fascinated. Eventually, I asked whether he would create one for me too.
After what felt like forever, my piece finally arrived: a banana fibre doll set against a vibrant pink background. It remains one of my favourite works of art.
The banana fibre doll is part of our childhood, our history, our culture. In many ways, it is like Makindye itself, where Joshua and I walked today, a hill rich with memory and story.
Along the way, we came upon a tree said to have been planted by Sir Albert Cook. We also met a woman who was like a walking history book. She shared the cultural significance of Makindye with such richness that Joshua and I stood in awe of the depth of her memory and knowledge.
Through his art, Joshua uses the banana fibre doll to decolonize play. He re-centres the toys many of us grew up with, affirming that they are every bit as valuable as any others in the world.
Decolonizing play is really about more than toys. It is about learning, once again, to value what is ours.
It is recognizing the beauty in the things we grew up with. It is honouring the stories carried in the ordinary. It is celebrating what our own hands have made from the materials around us.
For too long, we have been taught to admire what comes from elsewhere while overlooking the brilliance of what has always been ours.
Yet Africa has never lacked beauty. Or wisdom. Or creativity.
Perhaps what has been missing is not the value of what is ours, but our willingness to see it. To trust it. To celebrate it.
May we learn to see and value our rich heritage.

A P.2 class in one of the primary schools in Soroti. This classroom environment is far from the realisation of ECE we desire. How do we demand basic skills like good handwriting when they use their laps as writing platforms.@Educ_SportsUg @LocalSoroti @Necda_ug

A good student has no money and has no time.
For generations at Kiira College Butiki, Mr. Mulongo’s assembly quotes shaped minds, built character, and reminded students that greatness demands sacrifice. @Butiki_League
