Youth Human Rights Defender Mentorship

On the 16th-08-2021, NUHC signed Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with The Human Rights Centre Uganda. we are privileged to have two mentees in our organisation who will be mentored for 2 months on Youth Access to Justice in Uganda.

We are the human rights defenders we love what we do as we look forward to reach out to fellow youths in our community and preach the gospel about their rights and great opportunities that await them rather than being idle and non-productive. Out of the Young Human Rights Defender mentorship offered by NUHC, we have learned numerous challenges that youth go through as a result of inadequate access to information about their right as declared by the United Nation (UN) General Assembly resolution 53/144 (8 march 1999) which aim at promotion and protection of all human rights and fundamental freedom for all person in all countries of the world

This is how interactive we are because we believe that every person has a voice that needs to be heard given the right platform. We are glad that here, we look at the issues that affect our community and come up with a positive resolution that will aim at bettering our community. In the office with our mentor Mr. Mwaka Benson commonly known as Mc Benny Acholimuding and we the Mentees are Otema Ronald and Namagalu Priscilla who are passionate to become youth activists.

Sitting abode, no doubt strategic work plans are discussed for a better community in the serene, spacious and ever-green garden. Getting out of the office setting and interacting with environment while learning how to adopt to situations. This is week one of NUHC engaging with youth from The Human Right Centre Uganda on a mentorship progamme that will run for 40 days and as the organization we are privileged to work with the amazing vibrant youth who are eager to be promoters of the youth rights in the community.

we are here as a team to reach out youth to access justice.

Focus, determination and persistence above all. As a team or NUHC family we are focus on creative ways to transform our community like using music, art, fashion, dance and poetry. During this covid-19 pandemic, The Taekwondo team is helping out few individuals at the Centre to be actively fit and promote health in our community. Today we are broken down with the pandemic and the youth especially are the most victimized since most of the institutions are closed that use to help and guide them like schools, youth Centres, etc. with us we are determine to make it still work for the youth by giving them skills or promoting their talents as they wait for schools and other institutions to open.

Having a lovely family like the NUHC FAMILY, makes one feel like there is no better place to BE.

No matter where you come from or who you are when at NUHC, put aside all your differences WE ARE A FAMILY.
