No information, No safety! It’s been a month since World Contraception Day, but the convo can’t end here. Young people still deserve real info, judgment-free care, and the power to choose. 💬✨ Young bodies are more worthy than the silence. We must inform them! #OYFUG #ASRH

Happy 64th Independence Day, Uganda! 🇺🇬✨We grew! True national freedom starts with personal autonomy. When young Ugandans are empowered with SRH knowledge, accessible health services, and safe campuses, we build a stronger, healthier nation. Today and every day. #UgandaAt64

“Beyond textbooks, pop quizzes, and ‘who forgot their presentation again?’, our teachers also guide us through the real-life stuff; respect, consent, and SRH. This day, we stand with the educators who shape safe, informed, and slightly less awkward futures. 💙#StandWithTeachers

"It's just a joke..." Is it, though? 🤔 Over 70% of students who experience harassment on campus don't know where to turn or report it. Silence and harmful jokes only normalize power abuse on campus. Let's shift the culture; Believe survivors; Call out unwanted comments !

Ugandan campuses are about to level up! 🚀 More options to #VibeSafely means less to worry about. Say goodbye to the 'oops' moment and hello to a new era of HIV prevention. Your campus clinic has the tea on the new long-acting prevention. More choices, more protection!

🎓 Welcome back, campus people! 📚 New semester, new memories, but please, don’t leave your informed minds at the hostel! Protect your peace, know your rights, make informed choices, and remember, consent is not implied, and your health is not negotiable. 🩺❤️ #VibeSafely

Indeed!! What began as a conference ended as a movement 🌍✨ Grateful to our incredible partners, speakers, student leaders, and every voice that helped turn conversations into impact at UNSHC 2026 💙🔥 The discussions may have ended, but the action continues. #UNSHC26
A two-day National Students Health Conference (2nd Edition) under the theme: "From Awareness to Action; Institutionalizing the Students Health", held at Kyambogo University, attracted over five hundred student representatives from various Universities across the Country. The Conference was sponsored by UNFPA, supported by several partners, including Uganda AIDS Commission. Head HIV Prevention - UAC, Dr. Daniel Byamukama, joined a Panel of Resource Persons today to discuss a wide range of health related issues, including what young people need to do differently to avoid HIV infection. #EndAIDS2030Ug
