The @econetwork in #Uganda is doing a great job in teaching the youth in questions of sustainability and growing food!
Thank you to everyone who has already donated to the fundraiser I am hosting for them, where we raise money to buy a piece of land to decrease monthly cost in the long term.
Our next milestone: If we raise 50% of the full sum within the next month, they can already move to the new land! Read the update & donate here: https://www.gofundme.com/f/buying-land-eco-youths-network-uganda
Please share widely! Thank you!

More than two years after he was charged, a traumatised young man - one of the first people arrested under Uganda's extreme Anti-Homosexuality Act - will finally be released. He should never have been arrested in the first place.

So in #Uganda they have found a way to deny internet access if you use vpn? I used to imagine VPN's actually hide you from such things. They banned all social media (but I guess the fediverse is not on their crosshairs either because they don't know about it, or its not ban-able due to the numerous sites? So we've been using VPN but now if you have vpn running you don't get any access. This is frightening.

‼️ Last week, #Uganda experienced an internet shutdown during its 2026 general elections.
After 5 days, internet access was restored -- but major social media and messaging platforms remained blocked.

For many years, Africa has suffered under selfish dictators who promised change but delivered none. Citizens waited in hope, yet remained forgotten. Today, we youths have risen to act creating projects that support and uplift our communities where leadership failed. This mission is bigger than us; we need your support. Please donate to our fundraiser. We sincerely thank everyone who has supported us so far your generosity gives us strength and hope.
