All this judgment on other lives needs to stop!

By
These are some hard times we living in; churches burning, planes falling from the sky, murder. This is just a little something to help you get through the day – if it could.

In my life away from the streets: It was more than a tragedy, emotions be grabbing me plane fell from the sky I am trying to figure what happened. Burning churches mocking God, who can be so cruel? We are all ignorant to AIDS till it happens to you. Just be a man, make plans and listen to your voice – a woman’s trying to make decisions, you should give her a choice. What am I living for? Am giving more back than taking? I am on my knees still waiting for my own salvation but i feel abandoned because the less fortunate next to me say that am greedy, it’s so easy to regret things after they are done.

In the life of a boy in the streets: In his world will it get worse when he has been trapped since birth he had to sleep in a hearse because it was his bed first. His grandparents are probably turning in their graves; they never got to see how he will age. The streets have him feeling like he is on cloud nine and his death ain’t far. He was raised without his mother or his father so tell him something; does God look at him funny? Rest in peace to his mother…rest in peace to his father…rest in peace to his grandparents. Some days he is in a crowed all by himself, even if he Iooks around, he is still by himself.  It’s hard to tell who really cares for him, so when you finish reading this, you should say a prayer for him. He thinks about nothing more but life, what else? He knows his life is not promised and that’s why the words move in silence, he analyses these scandalous times – it’s hard but he manages.

Schools have been turned to war zones even homes are unsafe raising children to hate. Its time something is done for our young kids, they growing hopeless and that ain’t the way to live. It’s plain to see that the seeds from you and me are going to be the ones to lead us towards a just humanity, that’s if we treat them right and teach them right – raise your kids better than you were and see what it does.

Youth Get Empowered - Economically!

By
Nawangisa parish situated in Kibaale Sub County is one of the localities under the “creating spaces for ACTIVISTA ” programme area by ActionAid, Busiki LRP.  Similar to other Parishes, the Youth constitute the majority of the community moreover; most of them depend on menial and unsustainable ventures for income whilst those privileged enough to use their small farm acreages for livelihood, use rudimentary tools on individual basis and an even greater number does not engage in any practices for development. In Nov. 2013, I convened a  one-day Activista training forum under the Activista platform at Kibaale Sub County to empower the Youth on result-based documentation, planning, efficacy in resource use and sustaining incomes attended to by Activistas themselves. The training was anchored on first component of the HRBA methodology that details empowerment. Succinctly, the focus on; galvanizing for individual and collective action, identifying and nurturing their capacities on ...

Is Kenya steadily playing catch up to Al Shabaab?

By
It’s been “a minute” since the West Gate siege and silly me; I thought that as a government, citizenry and republic at some point in between the “heavy gun fire exchange” with “a lot” of terrorist at the then prestigious and soon again about to be…West Gate mall, some of us if not all…whipped out our notebooks and pens, wrote on our palms, unleashed our array of gadgets and took notes. Well, we did not. Rather, we contributed money…wept and shoved the entire disaster to the back and for a few days sustained the buzz on social media while waxing lyrical at TVs & radio interviews and church sessions and at our estate dingy & posh drinking dens and gossip hair-do palours re-told the entire siege blow by blow (notwithstanding the fact that we were not even in the vicinity of the upmarket Westlands area) swearing how others made mistakes and how we could do it better….if only. First forward, as a citizen I lost young country men and women who were gearing up to do great and rev...

Why it is important to define Tax justice as a human rights issue

By
On the 10th December 2018, Uganda celebrated the 70th anniversary of the universal declaration of human rights, a commitment that gave birth to the human rights movement. Uganda is a signatory to the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural rights (ICESR), the International Covenant on Political and Civil rights and the International covenant on the Rights of a child, the African charter on human and people’s rights, African Charter on the rights and welfare of the child, among others and has a bill of rights in its constitution to guarantee these rights. Almost all these treaties and constitution impose an obligation on the state to ‘undertake measures’ for the implementation of these rights, Al Since 1948, a lot of progress has been made on many a fronts (like creation of Human Rights Bodies(Human Rights Commission, Equal opportunities Commission, etc), Courts, watch dogs, etc) when it comes to attainment and enjoyment of these human rights. However, a...

... My Conscious is clear!

By
What has been said of me is true. I offer no arguments nor dispute to the simple facts, but they hardly begin to cover the scope of my true crimes. Honor requires more than admition, so I offer a full confession and the whole truth. For far too long I have failed to recognize my own hypocrisy, I ignored my own cowardice conveniently hiding behind a position of political compromise, and for what? To retain the meager wealth and rank than men desire. So I come before you a condemned man for having finally stood up to injustice. My shame and regret is that I failed to do so before it arrived in my own court. We supply the armies, we build the roads, and we employ the nation. Still we remain silent while our coffers are emptied and our freedoms eroded. There will be times where we are powerless to injustice but there must never be a time where we fail to protest. This being, known as individualism is a cancer growing and the only proper thing to do is to cut it out. You all know what I...

What is Capacity Building?

By
Capacity building is perhaps one of the most fashionable, yet least understood term in the non‐profit sector. There is a lack of shared definition and understanding around its features and essential elements. Funders tend to talk about capacity building programs, while capacity builders might refer to capacity building engagements, yet organizations may refer to it as a set of activities or processes that accomplish a specific goal.  In essence, this is the process by which individuals, groups, organizations, and communities increase their abilities to:  Perform core functions, solve problems, define and achieve objectives; and  Understand and deal with their development needs in a broad context and in a sustainable manner.” Organizational capacity building seeks to strengthen the ability of an organization or agency to achieve a desired outcome. Capacity building in this area can be defined as: “Supporting organizations to build and maintain the skills, infrast...
