Suffering Mothers in Africa: The Strong Heartbeat of the Continent by Davis Owomugisha


In Africa, there are many mothers who suffer quietly. They are very strong and take care of their families, but life is not easy for them. They worry about finding enough food for their children and keeping them safe. Sometimes, there is not enough to eat, and this makes life very hard.

In some places, there is fighting and violence, and mothers worry about their children's safety every day. They try to protect them, but it's not always possible. They also worry about getting sick because in many places, it's hard to find good healthcare.

Sadly, some mothers die while having babies because they can't get the help they need. This is very sad for their families and communities.

But even though life is tough, these mothers are very strong. They believe in a better future for their children and work hard every day to make it happen. They get up early and do their best, even when things are hard.

We should remember these mothers and support them. They are the heart of Africa, and when they are strong, everyone is strong. Let's help them make a better future for themselves and their children.

Protecting Wetlands and Communities: A Balanced Approach for Kigezi,By Davis Owomugisha Kanzikwera. Recently, the president directed the National Environment Management Authority (NEMA) to remove all individuals encroaching on wetlands. This directive aims to protect Uganda's valuable wetland ecosystems from further degradation. However, for the people of Kigezi, who heavily depend on these wetlands for their livelihood, this presents a complex challenge. Understanding the crucial role wetlands play in their lives is essential to crafting a solution that balances environmental conservation with community needs.

The Need for Government Oversight in Beauty Pageants and Their Impact on the Girl Child By Davis Owomugisha, Creative writer, Kampala Uganda. In recent years, beauty pageants like Miss Uganda and Miss Tourism have garnered significant attention and participation. These events promise to uplift and empower the girl child, providing a platform for young women to showcase their talents and potentially open doors to future opportunities. However, beneath the glamour and excitement, there lies a troubling reality that needs urgent attention from the government and regulatory bodies.
