On 13 June 2026, SAU successfully trained elected youth with disabilities on legal frameworks, advocacy and the Global Disability Summit. This was conducted with support from the Disability Rights Fund (DRF).

The training followed mass mobilization and the youths’ direct participation in electoral observation from 15 January to 6 February 2026. It was also informed by a baseline report, conducted with DRF support which identified gaps in capacity of youth with disabilities to understand and advocate for their rights.

Out of 84 youth who expressed interest for the same capacity building training, 37 participants benefited from the training.

During the evaluation, participants appreciated the knowledge and skills gained. They committed to applying these skills and working with SAU on local level advocacy.

SAU youth leaders are facilitating a workshop on rights and volunteerism for newly identified youth with disabilities in Kapchorwa. The participants were identified during a community outreach conducted by youth leaders in the first week of their visit to the district.

Today’s workshop included a few role models whose example the newly identified youth can learn from. The workshop becomes engaging when it is led confidently by the newly identified youth leaders themselves.

We are already at the stage of developing future role models who will take on the responsibility of mentoring other youth with disabilities across the district and the country.

Today is the final day of a two-day sensitization meeting conducted by SAU through the Youth Leader Exchange Programme for parents and guardians of newly identified youth with disabilities in Kapchorwa. The meeting informed participants about SAU’s work and the projects being implemented in the district. It also turned the meeting into an engaging learning session, where every participant was observed taking notes on practical learnings.

The meeting improved participants’ understanding of disability and provided practical ways to support their children with disabilities in daily activities at home.

The meeting also informed them about the rights of children and persons with disabilities, making them aware that they have a direct responsibility for advocacy at the community level.

SAU successfully monitored the Marinyi Boron and Kaserema I-SAVE groups for youth with disabilities as they shared out their savings after 52 weeks. The groups started saving last year and are now reinvesting for their 3rd cycle.

The monitoring activity went well and we collected some success stories from the youth with disabilities. Many members reinvested their money and expressed gratitude for the savings initiative.

One member shared l thank SAU for introducing the savings initiative. Before joining the group, I had no business. I started one using a loan from the group and today I can buy basic needs for myself, including clean clothes unlike before I joined.

Another member said l loved farming but l had no capital to cultivate a large farm. After joining the group, I accessed a small loan and started growing sukuma. I repaid the loan with fair interest and I used the profit from my first harvest to continue farming tomatoes and I am now expanding into cabbage production due to the changing season. I am happy to say that I am about to harvest cabbages from my large farm.

We successfully concluded our week long partner seminar yesterday, with a wealth of knowledge and skills shared among partners. We achieved our seminar goals of forming an international committee and sharing approaches to advocacy and data use for advocacy.

We also shared experiences on program implementation across health, education, advocacy and other areas that benefit youth with disabilities.

Through the seminar, we strengthened our collaboration and partnerships and set post seminar goals which included holding follow-up meetings, participating in fundraising, engaging in joint advocacy and conducting remote capacity building programs for network partners.

As part of our partner seminar program, we visited Mental Health Uganda this afternoon to learn about their work and how they change the lives of people with all types of mental health conditions. We were impressed by their strategies, including a helpline that is reachable at no cost and provides free services.

Our partners from Ghana, Sierra Leone and Denmark witj together SAU appreciated the opportunity to learn and unlearn. We are all eager to take these lessons and apply them.

We are grateful to Mental Health Uganda for the fruitful discussion and look forward to future partnership opportunities.
