At @HummingbirdUg we believe that empowerment goes beyond healthcare, it means creating pathways for economic resilience too. This week, we launched our Financial Literacy Class as part of our ongoing weekly sessions with the deaf community in Jinja.

Today in Jinja, we had a wonderful session with members of the deaf community, exploring the role of breastfeeding in early childhood development and sharing proper techniques to support healthier beginnings. #BreastfeedingWeek2025
As we commemorate Breastfeeding Week, join us for an awareness outreach on breastfeeding and ECD to the deaf community in Jinja. Breastfeeding is love, protection, and the foundation of early childhood development, yet many deaf mothers face barriers to information and support.

Breastfeeding is more than just feeding a baby. It’s a foundation for lifelong health, nutrition, and development. It gives infants the best start in life, strengthens the bond between mother and child, and even benefits the mother’s health. #BreastfeedingWeek2025

At @HummingbirdUg we believe change happens when communities and youth lead the way. Partnering with @FarajaAfricaFdn at the 8th National Youth Parliament was a powerful reminder that when young people speak, policies shift, health is championed, & a fairer Uganda comes into view
