Description

Might Foundation organizes grassroots/village in-person accountability health peace-building dialogues on ending community violence during the COVID pandemic especially against women and girls. At the dialogues, village leaders including government officials, teachers and police are held to account by residents on community violence through Music, Dance and Drama (MDD) etc while grassroots leaders will in response to the residents, raise awareness on community policies and programs ending community violence and call their residents to action. The foundation is developing a national health mobile app and website that replicates the above in-person activities online by broadcasting live national and international health events like online dialogues, receive online reports on community violence, offer online trading in global health services and products targeting the Ugandan market, offer online video meeting rooms and chats for health experts and patients and provide a health platform where global innovators targeting the Ugandan market may fundraise for their health projects and Ugandans may also fundraise to improve their individual health. We raised awareness of at least 80 village residents in Uganda, employed 13 MDD youth performers, established an awareness raising platform for 11 leaders and advertised 1 innovator's face mask business.
