Three impactful days for Module 1: Safeguarding Training led by @iidc_uganda@IIDC_Ug. The training strengthened participants’ knowledge of safeguarding principles, reinforcing prevention, response, accountability, and monitoring to help build safer, more inclusive environments.
Would you know what to do if you witnessed abuse or harassment?
Awareness saves lives. Taking a few minutes to read safeguarding information can empower you to recognize risks, protect yourself, and support others.
Remember -Safeguarding is everyone’s responsibility.
This June, as we observe Men’s Mental Health Awareness Month, we encourage every man and boy to take a moment to check in with themselves and those around them. A simple conversation, a kind word, or asking for support can make a meaningful difference. 💙
Over 40 focal persons from Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) institutions have been trained on the Gender Equality, Disability & Social Inclusion (GEDSI) Toolkit, strengthening inclusive, safe and gender-responsive digital learning systems.

Reflecting on the impact of the Learning Management System, Mulindwa, a student at Busitema University, shares:
“For me, it is more than just a platform for notes & assignments. It has become part of how I learn, grow, & build confidence in both academics & digital creativity”
Safe digital spaces are now a key part of quality education. When learners feel protected, respected, and supported online, they can engage confidently, learn freely, and thrive in the digital world.
