Are we creating opportunities to meet the aspirations of the youth?

August 18, 2026

In this thought-provoking conversation, Jenner Kanalo, Senior Livelihood Specialist at ChildFund, and Samuel Kasirye, a member of the Youth Advisory Council at Kampala Area Federation of Communities, explore the aspirations, opportunities and challenges facing young people today.
They reflect on what it takes to turn youth aspirations into reality and how ChildFund is creating pathways for young people to build skills, access opportunities and shape their own futures. The show was aired on Radio One’s Spectrum show to commemorate this year’s International Youth Day (August 12, 2026)

In 2024, ChildFund Uganda allocated 83% of its total operating expenses to programs supporting vulnerable children, families, and communities.
