Happy International Youth Day🎉🎉

Today, ACTogether Uganda and the National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda (NSDFU) celebrate the incredible energy, resilience, and vision of young people across Uganda and the global SDI network.

This year’s theme, “Different Contexts, Common Aspirations,” highlights a powerful truth for our settlements. While our youth navigate diverse and complex local challenges within informal settlements from sanitation gaps to land tenure vulnerabilities they share a unified, unstoppable aspiration for dignified living, inclusive cities, and meaningful economic opportunities.

As part of the Monitoring and Evaluation of Waste Management Groups Supported with Grants under the GALLA Project, we conducted follow up visits to Arnab Saving Group, Ruti Carpenters Association, and Nyakizi Masjid Taqwa Group in Nyakizi, Market Cell, Ruti Ward, Mbarara City.
These community groups are supported under the GALLA Project to promote sustainable waste management by transforming waste into valuable products and livelihood opportunities that benefit the community.

During the monitoring visits, the team assessed the progress of the groups, observed the various waste management initiatives being implemented, and interacted with members to understand the achievements, challenges, and lessons learned.

The groups appreciated the continued support from SDI and the National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda, acknowledging that the project has strengthened their capacity to improve livelihoods while promoting environmental conservation.

The group members emphasized that they will actively seek support through government programmes and other development partners to access more opportunities, build their capacity, and enhance the sustainability of their projects for the benefit of their communities.

🌍🤝 Celebrating Partnerships, Impact, and Resilience!

ACTogether Uganda, together with the National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda, successfully held the close-out workshop for the Enhancing Resilience and Integration of Urban Migrants in Jinja City (ERIUM) Project at Jinja City Council.

The workshop was officially graced by the Deputy Town Clerk, Mr. Mawerere, and brought together project partners to reflect on the journey, celebrate achievements, and share valuable lessons that will continue to shape inclusive urban development.

We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners Ensibuko, Ecoplatile, Jinja City,WORI, and ACTogether Uganda/NSDU for their dedication and collaboration throughout the project. Together, we have contributed to building stronger, more resilient, and inclusive communities for urban migrants in Jinja City.

As the ERIUM Project comes to a close, the partnerships, knowledge, and impact created will continue to inspire future initiatives that leave no one behind.

Today marked a proud milestone as ACTogether Uganda and the National Slum Dwellers Federation of Uganda (NSDFU) successfully held their 3rd Annual General Meeting (AGM).

This year's AGM was especially meaningful because, for the very first time, we gathered in our own home—a significant milestone that reflects how far we have come as a movement. It was more than just a venue; it symbolized growth, resilience, and the power of collective action.

We were honored to welcome representatives from our different regions across Uganda, whose participation showcased the strength and unity of our federation. Together, we reflected on our journey, celebrated our achievements, and discussed the road ahead.

The annual reports highlighted remarkable progress made over the past year. Among the many achievements, one that stood out was our growing impact on young people, with more youth engaged, empowered, and actively participating in building inclusive and resilient communities.

Our Board members provided valuable insights as they reviewed and responded to the audit report, reaffirming their commitment to transparency, accountability, and good governance. They also expressed their heartfelt appreciation to the ACTogether Uganda team, community leaders, and all our partners for their dedication, hard work, and unwavering commitment in advancing our shared mission.

As we move forward, today's discussions have strengthened our resolve to continue building stronger communities, expanding opportunities for the urban poor, and ensuring that every voice is heard.

A sincere thank you to all our members, regional representatives, Board members, partners, and supporters for making this AGM a success. Together, we are proving that when communities lead, lasting change is possible.

🌱 Day 5 of Our Hydroponics Capacity Building Training! 🌱

Today was another exciting and hands-on learning experience! Our participants covered key practical skills, including:

✅ Measuring pH and EC accurately
✅ Mixing nutrient solutions for different crops
✅ Transplanting and planting seedlings into the hydroponic systems

The biggest highlight? 🎉 Our demo gardens are now fully established and operational! The nutrients have been mixed, the seedlings are planted, and the systems are up and running—bringing theory to life through practical application.

Every step is building the confidence and skills needed to grow healthy, high-quality crops using sustainable hydroponic farming.

A huge thank you to all participants for your enthusiasm and commitment.
The journey continues, and we're excited for what's ahead! 💚🌿

Day 4 of Our Capacity Building Training in Hydroponics

Today marked another productive and insightful day in our hydroponics training.

We focused on plant management, learning about seed planting, the germination process, and how to properly care for young seedlings. We also explored the different pH and EC levels required for various crops to ensure healthy growth and optimal yields.

Later in the evening, we put theory into practice by assembling our growing systems, completing the electrical installations, and testing the water system to ensure there were no leaks.

Everything is now set, and we're ready for the next exciting phase of the journey.

🌱 Day 3 of Our Hydroponics Capacity Building Training!

After yesterday's inspiring site visits, today we're bringing ideas to life. Participants are designing different hydroponic systems using locally available materials, proving that sustainable urban farming can be practical and affordable.

The excitement is contagious! Seeing our urban dwellers confidently use tools, develop their own concepts, and watch their ideas take shape has been truly inspiring.

This afternoon, we'll be assembling our hydroponic gardens in the selected locations. The journey continues one design at a time! 🌿💧

Day 2 of our ongoing Hydroponics Capacity Building Training! 🌱💧

Another exciting day of learning and hands-on experience as we continue building our knowledge in hydroponics.

Today, we took a deeper dive into the different hydroponic production systems, focusing on:
🌿 Media-Based Systems
💦 Nutrient Film Technique (NFT)
🌊 Deep Water Culture (DWC)

We have explored how each system works, their advantages, and the types of crops best suited for each one, gaining a better understanding of how to choose the right system for different farming needs.

To complement the classroom sessions, we have also visited the different gardens where these hydroponic systems are being used.
Seeing the technologies in operation has helped to bridge the gap between theory and practice, giving us valuable real-world insights.
