This April, Uganda Unites continued to spark transformation in schools across the country, equipping students with the knowledge, skills, and passion to become agents of peace in their communities. Through interactive workshops, peace club activities, and support visits, we helped young people take ownership of their roles as changemakers, creating safe and inclusive spaces for dialogue, tolerance, and leadership.
At Kakindu Secondary School, we proudly launched a vibrant Peace Club. Students engaged in interactive sessions centered on self-discovery, emotional intelligence, and the importance of tolerance in diverse communities. The response was overwhelmingly positive, with many learners enthusiastically registering to become peace ambassadors and actively volunteering for leadership roles.
The energy continued at All Saints School, Ociba, where 112 students eagerly joined the peace movement. Their commitment to fostering harmony within their school and community was evident as they shared their visions for a more united Uganda.
In Busia District, our team carried out targeted peace club support visits at three partner schools:
Busia Border Seed SS: 83 students participated in revitalizing the Peace Club, electing a fresh leadership committee after the previous team graduated. The transition demonstrated strong continuity and commitment to the club’s mission.
Busia Trust SS: 36 students actively addressed existing challenges within their peace club, successfully closing leadership gaps and strategizing for more impactful engagement.
Busia Secondary School: 53 A-level students were inspired to take the lead in promoting peace and discipline, signaling a growing culture of peer-led advocacy and mentorship.
We extend our heartfelt appreciation to our dedicated team of volunteers across Uganda. Their passion, resilience, and unwavering dedication continue to nurture a generation committed to peacebuilding.
Each signed membership form, every elected club leader, and every student who speaks up for unity brings us one step closer to lasting change. As we close the month of April, Uganda Unites proudly reaffirms its mission to empower youth as the driving force of peace in our nation.
Together, we are building a brighter, more harmonious future—one young leader at a time.
