#ChildEyeHealth "Success isn't just about the number of surgeries we do; it’s about the lives reclaimed once those bandages come off. A single surgery can entirely rewrite a child's trajectory." - Dr. Grace Ssali Read about the Hoima #EyeHealthCamp: rb.gy/szno80
We are happy to join @reachahand for the #BeyondTheCanvas with global motivation @nickvujicic. According to Nick, the true secret to scaling up lies within: the greatest catalyst for growth is self-belief." #MyLimitlessStory

#MythOfTheWeek from Across Africa: “Having a child with albinism is a curse.” This dangerous myth is deeply rooted in fear, superstition, and a lack of understanding. Let’s break it down and clarify the truth. Understanding Albinism Albinism is a genetic condition caused by reduced melanin production. It is not spiritual, supernatural, or a punishment. It is simply inherited — like eye color or height. Why the Myth Is Wrong; Labeling a child as a curse creates lifelong stigma, fear, and even violence. The myth is false and harmful. It dehumanizes both the child and their family. Where It Comes From; Cultural beliefs associating albinism with misfortune. Limited access to accurate health information. Generational silence around disability and genetics. The Facts – Albinism is not contagious. – It is not a curse. – Children with albinism deserve love, protection, and equal opportunity. Let’s replace fear with truth. Now that you know, pass it on. #DemystifyingAlbinism #IAAD2025 #AlbinismIsNotACurse #StopTheStigma #DisabilityAwareness #InclusionMatters
Today on #MenstrualHygieneDay, Katalemwa Cheshire Home under the MakeWay program joins the Umbrella Cerebral Palsy Network in Gomma to commemorate this day under the theme: 🌸 Together For a Period Friendly World #InclusiveMHM #DisabilityMatters
