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.

Fathers
When our children call us dad, it is deeper
We are called to not only guide, but to be the pillar of strength to our children, one that gives them stability and hope that no matter what, they can face the future.
We MUST be their heroes!

82% Stressed: Uncovering the Hidden Mental Health Burden Among Kampala’s Taxi Drivers
A new study by Dr. Linda Kyomuhendo Jovia, a medical doctor and graduate of the Master of Public Health programme at Makerere University School of Public Health (MakSPH), has found high levels of psychological distress among minibus taxi drivers operating in Kampala’s major taxi parks. In a cross-sectional survey of 422 drivers across Old, New, Kisenyi, Usafi, Namirembe, Nakawa, and Nateete parks, nearly two-thirds screened positive for symptoms of depression (65.6%), while anxiety affected more than 70%, and stress an estimated 82%.
The findings point to a largely overlooked occupational health concern within the city’s informal transport sector, where long working hours, economic pressure, poor sleep, and prior road accidents were associated with higher levels of mental strain.
