Kampala, Uganda
When we started Reach A Hand Uganda in 2011, our mission was simple: empower young people to be the change-makers in their communities. Today, as we’ve grown across 56 districts, challenges have become more complex, shifting global funding threatens SRHR programs, while teenage pregnancy, school dropout, and gender-based violence continue to impact young people. That’s why I’m proud to introduce Reach A Hand Global Inc, our new US-based fundraising arm, a strategic pivot toward sustainability and building stronger global partnerships. Together, we can ensure the vital work we do with young people isn’t dependent on funding tides, but backed by long-term support. To everyone who has walked with me since 2011, thank you. You’ve seen us through every low and every high. Now, I’m inviting you to join us in this new chapter to go higher than ever in amplifying youth voices on a global stage and deepening our impact at home. Donate today and create change to shape the future of more young people across Uganda with us: every.org/reach-a-hand-ugand… #YoungPeopleForYoungPeople #RAHUAt15

Tonight’s inaugural Kwiso Movie Night reflects the kind of platform we want to build. African films need audiences, filmmakers need sustainable routes to those audiences, and communities need stories that help them examine their realities. Cinema, conversation and social impact belong in the same room. #KwisoMovieNights #ReachAHandAfrica #TheUnforgivable

The Unforgivable is now on screen. Salaama’s life changes when violence enters her marriage and forces her to confront wounds from her childhood. Her story asks a difficult question: how do families stop pain from passing to the next generation? #KwisoMovieNights #TheUnforgivable #ReachAHandAfrica

The room is filling with people ready to watch, listen and engage. Kwiso Movie Night was created to connect African films with audiences and give difficult stories space for honest discussion. Tonight’s screening places family violence, trauma, responsibility and healing before us. #KwisoMovieNights #TheUnforgivable

We are live at the inaugural Kwiso Movie Night at the Reach A Hand Africa headquarters in Lungujja. 🎬 Tonight, we are screening The Unforgivable, a Ugandan film exploring domestic violence, childhood trauma and the pain passed from one generation to another. Film has brought us into the room. The issues on screen give us a reason to talk. #KwisoMovieNights #TheUnforgivable #ReachAHandAfrica

Strong teams are not built in meeting rooms alone. Earlier today, @reachahand Africa and @SautiPlus staff joined peer educators and @FcGuntu and @gazalanduox on the pitch. Sport strengthens wellbeing, trust and the relationships that make our work with young people stronger. #ReachAHandAfrica

Earlier today, we secured a UGX 8 million grant after emerging 2nd at the Uganda Climate Innovation Challenge (UCIC) Final Pitch Event! As Co-Founder, this achievement means so much to me. It is a reminder that with vision, teamwork, resilience, and determination, we can turn our climate challenges into opportunities. At Luther Plastics, we are committed to transforming plastic waste into valuable, sustainable products, and this grant will go a long way in helping us scale our innovation and impact. My sincere appreciation to GAYO and Youth Climate Council Uganda for this great initiative and for supporting youth-led climate solutions. Special kudos to our incredible team: Lule Arthur, our Founder & CEO, our dedicated technical team, and everyone contributing to this journey. Proud of what we are building together.

The Past Never Forgets... When violence enters Salaama’s marriage, the childhood trauma she thought she had escaped returns. Now she must protect her daughter, confront the cycle of abuse and decide whether her path leads to revenge or healing. Watch The Unforgivable tonight. 📍 Reach A Hand Africa HQ, Lungujja 🎟️ tinyurl.com/kwisomovienight Strictly 18+. #KwisoMovieNights #TheUnforgivable #ReachAHandAfrica

We connect the strategy, story and experience. From giving your brand direction to getting people talking, showing up and watching from wherever they are. We are one team that thinks about the whole brief. What are you planning next? Let’s get to work.

Young people receive messages about health, identity and money from many directions. Real change grows when those influences reinforce one another. On 6 November, I will join brands, storytellers and funders in Lagos to examine how the Surround Sound Kenya Partnership is addressing menstrual health, body confidence, nutrition and financial readiness, and what responsible expansion beyond Kenya requires. #UnlikelyAllies #ReachAHandAfrica

Social norms do not shift because one sector works harder. They shift when brands, storytellers, funders and youth organisations align what they say, support and place into culture. On 6 November, I will join Unlikely Allies: Stories That Shift Norms in Lagos to examine lessons from the Surround Sound Kenya Partnership and what responsible expansion beyond Kenya should look like. Scaling social change is not copying a model. It is carrying forward what works while responding to each country’s culture, systems and young people. #UnlikelyAllies #ReachAHandAfrica

Africa’s future depends on young people having the information, voice and opportunity to shape it. Our 2025 Annual Report captures how Reach A Hand Africa turned this belief into action through communities, schools, digital platforms and creative engagement. Locally rooted. African in ambition. Coming soon. #ReachAHandAfrica #2025AnnualReport

Awards recognise careers. The conversations around them help build the next ones. At the iKON Awards nominee announcement, I connected with industry legends, peers and emerging creatives. iKON must remain a stage for excellence and a bridge between generations. #iKONAwards2026 #BeyondBorders

We ask young people to report abuse. Are our systems ready to protect them when they do? Today’s #LinkLearnAct webinar on why teenage pregnancy persists in Uganda examined the barriers between reporting abuse and accessing justice. Jennipher Achaloi from @IDLO, Claudia Anzoa from @Uganetlaw, Peninah Susan Igaga from @CEDOVIPuganda and Uwayezu Brenda Kalungi from @HDIRwanda highlighted family settlements, delayed investigations, repeated questioning, weak confidentiality and fragmented referrals. Rwanda’s Isange One-Stop Centres also offered lessons on coordinated, survivor-centred support. Thank you to Elizabeth Kemigisha from @FIDA_Uganda for moderating the discussion. Reporting must lead to dignity, timely support and accountability. #ReachAHandAfrica

We spent time at Seeta Main Campus with Reach A Hand Africa Peer Educators, having real conversations with students about Emotional Intelligence, Life Skills & SMART Life Choices, Consent & Boundaries. Just sharing information, listening and helping young people

Peer education is not young people repeating adult instructions. It is young people translating knowledge into language their peers understand and trust. At Seeta High School, we saw why youth participation must remain central to every programme designed for them. #ReachAHandAfrica #BeBetter

The most important question during a school outreach is often the one a student was afraid to ask. The Be Better campaign creates room for young people to speak openly, learn without judgement and receive information they will use long after the session ends. #ReachAHandAfrica #BeBetter
