The Eco-Friendly UDT Toilet: A New Beginning

This week we celebrate a special milestone — the completion of our innovative UDT toilet. Designed with care for the environment, this toilet separates urine from f***s, ensuring waste is harvested efficiently. The collected urine is transformed into organic, eco-friendly pesticide / fertilizer, helping our farms flourish naturally.

We are excited to launch the UDT toilet next week! Before opening it to everyone, we will teach our neighbors how to use this sustainable technology, emphasizing its benefits for health and the environment. Soon, families can enjoy a cleaner, greener future with this eco-friendly solution.

Green Bridges Facilitator Training: Week 3 Highlights – Building Digital Skills & Effective Moderation
This week, our journey continued with enriching sessions on Thursday and Wednesday, empowering youth facilitators to excel in virtual engagement.
Wednesday: We introduced the ANW platform as a vital learning and networking hub for the Green Bridges community. Participants explored how to navigate the platform’s functionalities, connect with peers, and leverage ANW for their personal learning journeys throughout the project. We also discussed how facilitators can build and upload their own course content on ANW, opening doors for future content sharing and collaboration.
Thursday: Focused on mastering the art of moderation. Participants learned what it takes to be a good moderator at every stage of a session—before, during, and after. We covered techniques for introducing guest speakers, sparking engagement around their input, and involving the audience through Q&A sessions. To make it fun and practical, we did a role-play introducing a well-known guest, followed by a post-session best practices checklist to ensure smooth, impactful sessions.
Exciting times ahead as we gear up for upcoming practical workshops and continue building a vibrant network of changemakers!
Stay tuned for more updates!

These tools are vital for fostering interactive and engaging virtual environments that promote active participation.

Yesterday (Thursday), we focused on planning interactive learning sessions. Participants gained hands-on experience designing engaging session plans that incorporate interactive activities, cultural exchange elements, and digital tools to enhance learning outcomes.

Strengthening Beekeeping Skills for Sustainable Livelihoods

On Friday, 22nd May 2026, we conducted a refresher training on beekeeping in Bujwahya East, aimed at empowering both members and non-members of the local beekeeping group. Facilitated by Atagwireho Nickson Mayega, the session focused on essential topics such as feeding bees, setting up an apiary, harvesting honey, and effective apiary management.

The training was dynamic and interactive, with participants actively engaging and sharing experiences. Notably, several participants expressed interest in building their own beehives, demonstrating a growing passion for sustainable beekeeping practices.

This initiative continues to expand skills, improve safety, and increase honey production, contributing to stronger livelihoods and environmental health in Kitoba.

The cruel side of Nature
Earlier this week, the people of hashtag district, Bulyango Parish woke up to a very sad sight. A strong hailstorm suddenly struck the area, catching many farmers by surprise. Just as their young plants were starting to grow and leave the soil, the hail came down hard and fast. The small, tender crops that farmers had waited so long to see grow were destroyed in minutes.
Many farmers have lost their hard work. Their gardens, which once looked green and promising, are now bare and empty. The young plants, which held so much hope for hashtag and income, are spoiled and broken.
This hailstorm is a big blow to the farmers. It reminds us how nature can be both beautiful and cruel. We feel very sorry for them and pray that the farmers find strength to start again and that the land will soon become green and fruitful once more.

Happy Mother's Day to all women farmers in Africa! Your hard work, resilience, and nurturing spirit inspire us all. Keep sowing seeds of hope and growth—your dedication nurtures communities and cultivates a brighter future.
