    Empower #Ugandan Families with #GreenYouthMovement

    "Imagine a family that struggles to afford enough nutritious food for their children. Through the Green Youth Movement, they gain access to practical training, seedlings, and a local demonstration farm that teaches them how to grow diverse, healthy food on their own land. What begins as a garden leads to better nutrition, lower food costs, new income opportunities, and a healthier future for their children.

    Green Youth Movement exists to help families move from food insecurity to self-sufficiency by empowering local youth to restore the land, grow food, and share knowledge throughout their communities.

    A $16,000 investment will secure three acres of land in Uganda that will become a demonstration farm, food forest nursery, and community education center. Rather than funding a one-time project, donors will help create a replicable model that trains local volunteers, improves food security, restores soil health, and lays the foundation for long-term community-led growth."

    ✧ Ugandan kob ✧

    The Ugandan kob (Kobus kob thomasi) is a subspecies of the kob, a type of antelope. It is found in sub-Saharan Africa, in South Sudan, Uganda and the Democratic Republic of the Congo. The Ugandan kob is distinguished from other kob subspecies by its reddish-brown colour. It is similar in appearance to the impala but is more sturdily built. Only t...

  8. Anita Among, speaker of parliament and central figure in the #AHA2023 law that lead to the #Ugandan #LGBT genocide, was sanctioned by the US Government.
    On NBS Television, state broadcaster in #Uganda, she has just declared that "now that Donald Trump is elected, the sanction is gone".
    Trump, friend of those who do crimes against humanity.

  9. — You can bet those religious hategroups that talked or bribed #Ugandan politicians into passing these hateful #laws aren't gonna make good losses of that nature.

  10. "apart from West #Africa and the #Sahel #IS has two other major branches - one located in north-eastern #Mozambique and the other in north-eastern #DRC - Democratic Republic of Congo. In the DRC IS originates from the group called the #ADF , The Allied Democratic Forces, they are a group of Muslim #Ugandan rebels, present in the area over three decades. In Mozambique it originates from a group known locally as Al-#Shabab - not related to the #Somali group of the same name"

  11. A vibrant #art scene in #Uganda mirrors #African #boom as more #collectors show interest
    #KAMPALA, Uganda (AP) — Lilian Nabulime hasn’t forgotten the time in the 1990s when the Ugandan capital had just one commercial #art #gallery, a small space that emerging #artists struggled to get into.

    Now, there are at least six in Kampala, including one whose #curator recently exhibited the sculptor’s contrarian work.

    Nabulime’s show, which has attracted audiences for its conspiratorial take on the peculiarities of urban “gossip,” might never have happened if she hadn’t approached Xenson Art Space and asked for the opportunity to exhibit her work. Her work includes terracotta works topped with the deformed facial features of gossip bearers.

    “Nobody ever comes to me and says, ’Oh, can we show your work?” she said, sitting amid her sculptures. “For me, I just decided and said, ‘Let me go and exhibit my work.’ I asked for the exhibition, and they gave me the space.”

    Her solo show, which will last until Dec. 20, exemplifies an expanding #artistic landscape that allows more room for local artists who once struggled for space. Nabulime, who teaches #sculpture at a prestigious art school in Kampala, is among a growing list of artists whose body of work contributes to a feeling among curators of an exciting moment for #Ugandan art.

    Their sense of cheer mirrors a similar trend across #Africa that’s fueled not just by an explosion of compelling new work but also by the growing ability of curators from the continent to reach new collectors at a time of rising global interest in modern African art.

    There are fresh signs of this momentum. The #Ivorian #painter #Aboudia was the world’s bestselling artist in 2022, selling two more artworks than the popular #Damien #Hirst , according to the #Hiscox Artist Top 100 survey. And in November, an artwork by the #Ethiopian - #born artist Julie #Mehretu fetched $10.7 million at auction, a new record for an African artist.

    In addition to the annual Art Auction East Africa in #Kenya — during which dead and living artists are valued if not rediscovered — the most ambitious curators from Africa are accredited to attend events such as the influential Art #Basel.

    “Let us have more curators so that they can show other people’s work,” Nabulime said, speaking of the growing number of #gallerists in Kampala. “In Uganda, if we are to have more work on the international market, we have to have more curators who are well connected.”
