Is your phone a locked room or an open door?

Your phone holds a lot — messages, photos, accounts and personal information. Take two minutes today to improve your digital safety: use strong, unique passwords, turn on Two-Factor Authentication (2FA), and review your security settings.

Small digital habits can make a big difference. Stay secure. Stay empowered. đź’™

WE RESPOND — Community Safety Networks

Safety is not something you carry alone.

When something goes wrong, knowing who you can safely contact can make a difference. Start by identifying a few trusted people you can reach when you need support.

Your trusted contacts can also help connect you to wider support networks, including community groups, health services, legal aid and safe spaces.

🔹 Know your trusted contacts.
🔹 Know your referral options.
🔹 Keep sensitive contact details private and secure.
🔹 Build these connections before you need them.

You do not need to share or name your trusted contacts publicly. Review your safety network privately and keep important information in a secure place.

Build the network before you need it. Stay connected. Stay prepared.

Simple Steps. Safer Journeys.

Every journey can come with unexpected changes. A little preparation can help you make safer decisions along the way.

Before you leave:

🗺️ Plan your route — know where you’re going.
📱 Tell someone — let someone you trust know your plan.

While you’re on the way:

✅ Check in — let them know you’re okay.
⚠️ Reassess — if something feels wrong, pause and rethink your plan.

You don’t have to share your route, location, or personal safety details publicly. Keep sensitive information private and communicate with trusted people through safe channels.

Simple steps. Safer journeys.

Would you be ready if you had to leave in 10 minutes?

Emergencies do not always give us enough time to prepare. Keeping a simple go-bag with essential items can help you move quickly and make safer decisions when plans suddenly change.

You do not need to wait for an emergency before preparing. Start with the things you may need most, keep them together, and review your bag from time to time.

A go-bag is not about fear. It is about preparation.

Prepare before you need it. Stay ready. Stay safe.

International Day of Democracy | September 15

Democracy is more than voting. It is about having a voice, being heard, having equal opportunities, and being able to participate in decisions that affect our lives and communities.

Young people have an important role to play in building a society where everyone’s rights are respected and every voice matters.

Today, we encourage young people to speak up, stay informed, participate peacefully, and hold leaders accountable. Together, we can build a more inclusive and just society where no one is left behind.

Your voice matters. Your participation matters. Democracy needs you. ✊🏽

Your life matters, even on the days when everything feels too heavy. đź’ś

Su***de prevention starts with paying attention, listening without judgment, and reminding people that they do not have to face difficult moments alone. Sometimes, a simple “Are you okay?” can open the door to a conversation that someone desperately needs.

Let’s create communities where people feel safe to speak, supported when they struggle, and valued for who they are. If you or someone you know is going through a difficult time, reach out to a trusted person or a qualified mental health professional. There is always a reason to keep the conversation going. 🫂

Let’s listen. Let’s support. Let’s save lives.

🟢🟡🔴 Know Your Safety Zones

Where you are matters. And sometimes, how safe a place feels can change.

Knowing your surroundings helps you make better decisions. Think about your environment, the time, the people around you, your route, and what has changed before deciding whether to stay, proceed, or step away.

🟢 GREEN ZONE — Familiar, comfortable and safe.
🟡 YELLOW ZONE — Something feels uncertain. Stay alert and reassess.
🔴 RED ZONE — The situation feels unsafe. Step away and choose a safer option.

Before you go, ask yourself: Where am I going? What time? Who knows where I am?

These simple steps are part of the WE KNOW. WE PROTECT. WE RESPOND. campaign, sharing practical safety guidance from the Ubuntu Adapted National Safety and Security SOP.

Capturing Skills, Creating Opportunities

As part of the Viable Skills and Advocacy Program (VISAP), YOHRIAE equipped vulnerable young people with practical photography skills to help them explore their creativity and develop skills that can support future opportunities.

Through hands-on learning, participants gained knowledge in photography, visual storytelling and the art of capturing meaningful moments.

VISAP is about giving young people practical skills, confidence and opportunities to build a brighter future.

Learn a skill. Capture your vision. Create opportunities.

Happy Friday from all of us at YOHRIAE! Keep learning. Keep growing. Keep shining.
