Eradication of Poverty Among Young People.

We joined the community, families and young people in reflecting on what it truly takes to break the cycle of poverty as we celebrated the International Day of Eradication of Poverty on 17th October 2026.

Poverty is not just a lack of income. It is a lack of opportunity

When people are given the right tools, skills, and support they need to succeed, they can transform their lives and create lasting change for future generations.

At ACYP Uganda, our economic strengthening initiatives empower vulnerable young people and families to build a future of dignity and self-reliance. We provide placement into intensive apprenticeships in high-demand trades such as tailoring and garment design, auto mechanics, carpentry, building and construction, metal work, plumbing and hairdressing. Working alongside experienced artisans, they gain practical skills that open doors to employment and entrepreneurship.

Alongside technical and vocational skills, both young people and caregivers receive training in business management, record-keeping, budgeting, cost calculation, and cash flow management, helping them build profitable and sustainable enterprises.

"When we invest in people, we do more than reduce poverty; we unlock potential, restore dignity, and build stronger communities for generations to come."

Young People in Food Production.

This World Food Day, ACYP Uganda celebrates the power of communities, families, and young people working together to build sustainable food systems that leave no one behind.

Through our agricultural initiatives, we engage young people and their families in creating long-term solutions to hunger and malnutrition. By establishing household gardens, connecting families with skilled agriculturalists, promoting modern farming techniques, and strengthening local supply chains, we are helping communities grow fresh, nutritious, and affordable food.

We believe that food security is not just about feeding people today. It is about empowering families with the knowledge, skills, and resources to feed themselves tomorrow. By involving young people in agriculture, we are nurturing a generation that is resilient, self-reliant, and committed to sustainable development.

Together, we can create healthier families, stronger communities, and a future free from hunger.

Behind every thriving child is a strong woman.

At ACYP, over 80% of the families we support are led by women. They rise before dawn, work in farms, markets, plantations, quarries, and along roadsides to put food on the table and keep their children in school. They are caregivers, providers, and the backbone of their communities.

That is why we invest in women through savings groups, skills training, income-generating activities, access to healthcare, education, and agricultural support.

When we empower a woman, we strengthen a family. When we strengthen a family, we transform a community.

Join us in supporting rural women and the children who depend on them. Happy International Day of Rural Women.

International Day of the Girl Child! 11-10-2026.

Today, we celebrate the strength, resilience, and potential of every girl. Girls are leaders, innovators, caregivers, and change makers. When girls are educated, protected, and empowered, families prosper, communities thrive, and nations grow.

Yet many girls in Uganda continue to face challenges such as poverty, child marriage, teenage pregnancy, gender-based violence, school dropout, period poverty, and limited access to opportunities. These barriers prevent them from reaching their full potential and achieving their dreams.

At ACYP Uganda, we remain committed to supporting girls through education, mentorship, health awareness, life skills development, and creating safe spaces where they can learn, grow, and thrive.
On this International Day of the Girl Child, let us all commit to listening to girls, investing in their future, protecting their rights, and creating a world where every girl can dream without limits.

Every girl deserves to be safe. Every girl deserves an education. Every girl deserves the opportunity to succeed.

Together, let's empower girls and transform communities.

World Mental Health Day. Every Young Person Matters

Today on World Mental Health Day, we are reminded that mental health is just as important as physical health. Yet for many young people in Uganda and other low-resourced communities, mental health struggles often go unnoticed, unsupported, and misunderstood.

Behind every young person battling anxiety, depression, stress, or hopelessness is often a story of challenges they did not choose. Poverty, unemployment, family breakdown, abuse, neglect, violence, school dropout, bereavement, substance misuse, peer pressure, social isolation, teenage pregnancy, child marriage, and limited access to education and healthcare all contribute to poor mental well-being.

Many young people carry the weight of hunger, uncertainty about the future, lack of positive role models, and the pressure to survive in difficult circumstances. Others experience stigma and discrimination when they seek help, causing them to suffer in silence.

At ACYP Uganda, we believe that no young person should face these challenges alone. We have started a community-based mental health support programme aimed at creating safe spaces, raising awareness, providing emotional support, building resilience, and connecting young people to the help they need.

Mental health is not a luxury. It is a necessity.
On this World Mental Health Day, let us listen without judgment, support without discrimination, and invest in the well-being of our young people. Together, we can create communities where every young person feels valued, supported, and hopeful about their future.

Planning with Families and Young People

ACYP acknowledges that. those most impacted by a program must be at the center of shaping it. Families and adolescents know what they need, they know where they want to go, and they understand how the outcomes will affect their lives.

What they often lack is not ideas but support, guidance, and a platform to lead their own journey.

When we plan with them from the very start, we create stronger ownership of goals and decisions while creating more realistic solutions rooted in their lived experiences

At ACYP, we walk with them, not ahead of them. Together, we build pathways that are meaningful, achievable, and sustainable.

Empowering Out of School Adolescents Through Life Skills Training.

In partnership with Kalungu District Local Government and UNICEF, ACYP Uganda conducted transformative life skills training for out of school adolescents aged 10–17 years who face daily challenges affecting their well-being and future.

The program aimed to help these young people become adaptive and resilient citizens, equipped to navigate personal, social, economic, and environmental challenges. Over 20 sessions were held across Kyamulibwa, Lwabenge, and Lukaya Town Council, reaching 70 adolescents with practical skills to improve their well-being and inspire them to become agents of change in their communities.

Through this initiative, ACYP continues to create safe spaces where every young person can learn, grow, and thrive.

Building Sustainable Families Through Participation.

At ACYP Uganda, we believe that supporting a family toward sustainability begins with listening to every voice within that family.
Our participatory assessment approach ensures that caregivers and children are not just beneficiaries but active participants in shaping their own future.

Each family member has unique needs, dreams, and strengths. When everyone is part of the assessment and goal setting process, the case management plan becomes stronger, more realistic, and more sustainable.

This inclusion builds ownership and accountability, it strengthens family unity and communication, it helps identify practical solutions that work for everyone and it empowers children and caregivers to take part in achieving shared goals.

True transformation happens when families are not spoken for, but speak for themselves.

Together, we can build resilient families that thrive with dignity and purpose.
