Esonga traditionally refers to issues exclusive to women, but true progress requires making menstrual health everyone's priority. By riding tricycles directly into last-mile communities in Eastern Uganda, this initiative breaks long-standing taboos, ensuring women and girls receive the dignity and essential supplies they deserve.

And just like that, we wrapped up another day of ideas, innovation, connections and big conversations around the future of WASH.
From entrepreneurs and investors to industry leaders and changemakers, Day 2 brought more conversations, more learning and more opportunities to build a stronger WASH ecosystem.
That’s a wrap from the Majipreneurs Summit 2026.

Media is becoming a powerful driver of tourism and the 5th edition of the Rwenzori Marathon proved exactly that. 🏃🏾♂️⛰️
With World Athletics streaming the marathon live and commentators bringing the experience to audiences beyond Uganda, the event reached thousands of people.
This visibility created opportunities for local businesses, tourism sites and the region’s wider economic growth.
Identity Talks explored this important connection between media and tourism in a detailed conversation, powered by Konrad Adenauer Stiftung @KasUganda collaboration with @IMChallengeug
