Children thrive when they feel safe. On the Day of the African #Child, we share a glimpse into YARID’s Child-Friendly Space in #Kampala, where children learn & play while #mothers & #caregivers build skills in tailoring, English, ICT and more. This made possible by Hilton Foundation

We joined Innovations for Poverty Action for a #workshop to co-develop a #ToR for the #2Gen Approach that guides our work. When caregivers thrive, children do too & vice versa. Innovations for Poverty Action brought together Hilton Foundation supported partners to align on how to better support both generations.
