Before you post analyse the effects of the content – at Kampala, Uganda
"In most cases, we never sit to think about the effects our posts could have on those viewing them on social media. Especially when content creates conflict between genders, online spaces trade respect for abuse," says Sam Moseti Nyamwenge, the trainer with @rntc.

People lost empathy for one another! It’s sickening! Someone isn’t even buried yet and you’re announcing another person as a King!! People are grieving and mourning and all you care about is tweeting about who should be King!! Such an unfair world with sick souls!! King Oyo battled cancer and you can’t even take a few days to sympathize with his loved ones!! Smh

I still remember the day I decided to join Reach A Hand Academy. Looking back, it’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. @reachahand Before joining, most of my time was spent on social media. I never imagined I would meet so many amazing people from different backgrounds. Through the academy, I found friends, brothers, and sisters who have become an important part of my journey. Reach A Hand Academy is more than a place to learn—it connects young people to new opportunities, new ideas, and meaningful relationships. It inspires us to dream bigger and believe in ourselves. As this journey comes to an end, I know I’m going to miss many of you. We may leave the academy, but I pray that our friendship never ends. I hope we continue to support one another, encourage each other, and grow together. To me, you are more than classmates—you are family. I wish I could mention each one of you by name, but the list would be too long. Just know that every one of you has a special place in my heart. I love you all, and I will always cherish the memories we created together. I sincerely appreciate everything Reach A Hand Africa is doing. You are transforming the lives and mindsets of so many young people. Please keep going and never give up because your vision is changing lives. A special thank you to everyone working at Reach A Hand Africa, especially Mr. Humphrey Nabimanya. @HumNabimanya Your dedication, guidance, and support mean so much. Thank you for believing in young people and for making a real difference. May God bless you all.

Even if this is comedy, it’s a true reflection of our society today unfortunately. This is our inconvenient truth.

🎬 "Not just fixing symptoms, building foundations." That's @NyakaGlobal's approach in rural southwestern Uganda. I shot and edited their Advancement and Fundraising Coordinator sharing how education + economic empowerment drive real transformation.

It was such an honor to be part of the Ikon heritage trial. – at Kampala, Uganda
Replying to @reachahand
Hosted by Mr. Najib Nsubuga, Chief Executive Officer of the Buganda Heritage and Tourism Board, the walk highlighted that tourism is not only about wildlife, scenery, and nature, but also about understanding the roots, history, and cultural heritage that shape who we are as Ugandans. #POATE2026 #ReachAHandAfrica

It was also a reminder that Uganda’s cultural heritage is a powerful tool for education, youth empowerment, and national pride. As we embrace and celebrate our heritage, we inspire future generations to stay connected to their identity while sharing Uganda’s rich history with the world. #POATE2026 #ReachAHandAfrica

Visited a @NyakaGlobal grandmother in Kanungu and was reminded that impactful storytelling starts with intentional communication. Great stories are not just captured creatively; they are planned purposefully. Take time to learn more about the Nyaka Grandmother Program.

I recently had a deeply meaningful conversation with Anita Toy, Executive Director of Myriad Australia, exploring how philanthropy can move beyond traditional charity to become a strategic bridge between global solidarity and local realities. At @reachahand, we have always believed that the most sustainable solutions are co-created; grounded in the lived experiences of young people and strengthened by partners who listen, learn, and invest with purpose. We are rethinking how to mobilize support for Uganda’s most pressing challenges, from youth empowerment to sexual and reproductive health, while keeping dignity, agency, and impact at the center. By aligning world-class philanthropic leadership with our grassroots impact, we are leveraging the expertise of Myriad Australia to amplify the voices of those we serve. I am encouraged by what lies ahead, because when vision is shared and action is intentional, true transformation becomes possible. #GlobalImpact #YouthEmpowerment
