Mwavuli Kagwe has successfully completed the first section of the Mwavuli Curriculum on Individual Advancement.

Through interactive discussions and reflection, participants explored the connection between the pillars of emotional intelligence and how they influence the way we respond to conflict. As they unpacked different types of conflict, many were surprised to discover that intrapersonal conflict; the struggles we experience within ourselves is a real and significant form of conflict.

The concepts of the "silent trap" and the "silent voice" as root causes of conflict particularly resonated with the young women, majority sharing that they choose silence for peace often leaving disagreements unresolved.

The session was a powerful reminder that conflict is a normal part of human interactions.When addressed constructively, it becomes an opportunity for self-awareness, growth, and stronger relationships. It also builds self-advocacy skills, empowering young women to communicate their needs, interests and opinions, set boundaries, and confidently make decisions that support their wellbeing and aspirations.

At Mwavuli, we continue to create safe spaces where young women can build the skils needed to navigate challenges, advocate for themselves, and thrive.
We ended the session with a powerful quote that spoke to the realities of many young women in the room.
" *Do not settle for a quiet room if it means living with a heavy heart."*

Today has marked a powerful milestone for the Mwavuli Movement Cohort A leaders as they began drafting an advocacy brief which will be shared with relevant stakeholders. The journey has been about turning lived experiences into action and transforming voices into influence. Advocacy begins when young women recognize the power of their voices and choose to use them to shape the change they want to see. 💜

Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights are not just health issues — they are about dignity, equality, opportunity, and the future of young women.

When girls and young women have access to accurate information and youth-friendly SRHR services, they are better placed to stay in school, pursue opportunities, make informed choices, and participate fully in society.

SRHR matters because every young woman deserves the right to thrive.

Behind every choice is a story;of pressure, hope, fear, or ambition.SRHR is not just information, it’s about real decisions young women make every day. Access to information, freedom from violence, power to choose.These are not privileges,they are rights.

Integrating SRHR into Universal Health Coverage (UHC) is not just a technical issue it is a political choice.

A recent global survey by the Partnership for Maternal, Newborn and Child Health found that 62% of policymakers and experts identify political will as the single most critical factor in advancing SRHR within UHC.

While financing gaps remain, the bigger question is what do governments choose to prioritize?

Stronger collaboration between Ministries of Health and Finance is emerging as essential to ensure resources actually reach the women and girls who need them most.

Across Africa, while progress is evident, significant gaps remain
Adolescent birth rates are declining however several countries still face gaps in meeting women’s contraceptive needs.

Regional actors like Southern African Development Community and partnerships between United Nations Population Fund and Africa Centres for Disease Control and Prevention are calling for:
* Scaling what works
* Investing in resilient, equitable health systems
* Ensuring no one is left behind especially rural and underserved communities
SRHR within Universal Health Coverage will not happen by chance.
It will take deliberate political commitment, coordinated systems, and sustained advocacy. Because access to reproductive health is not a privilege ,it is a right

There’s nothing quite like the energy when young women move from issues to solutions: bold, informed and solution driven.

We were honoured to have American Jewish World Service (AJWS) join us at a recent Mwavuli movement session in Komothai, witnessing exactly that shift in action. The participants mapped out key decision makers and clear actionable asks, turning their lived realities to strategic advocacy.

ICT Cohort 2 continued their personal development journey during their first Theme Friday, focusing on the Transition Phases of life.

Every age comes with its own season and every season brings purpose, pressure, and opportunity. The session guided learners to reflect on the stage they are currently in and explore the excitement, risks, mistakes, and firmig up skills needed to navigate it.

The class discussed the Identity Season (11–19 years) as a critical foundation shaping the next phases of life ;the “Try-Out” Season (20–29) and the Responsibility Season (30–39). The discussions today helped participants to further interrogate themselves and become more self aware.

Day 3 marked the climax of the personal skills development training for our ICT learners cohort (2) 2026.

Self confidence and communication are key skills that any learner transitioning to other areas of life beyond secondary level education ought to have. In an interractive session, participant's engaged in activities aimed at enhancing self confidence and communication skills. They learnt habits to consider in their daily routines that will enhance these skills in them; practising positive affirmations, setting daily goals, grooming, journalling, self care, writing letters to future self among others.

Building personal skills is a journey, slowly our learners are getting there.

"For me, the three days of the training have been kind of therapy. I have always struggled with handling emotions. The self awareness and emotional intelligence sessions have helped me become more self aware and developed my skills to handle my emotions better. My mum has already reported to me that she can see change."~ one learner reported

We now embark on ICT Skills learning starting on Monday 9th.
