PHASE III LAUNCH

SISTER LED YOUTH INITIATIVE UGANDA LAUNCHES PHASE III WITH EXPANDED FOCUS AND STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIPS

INTRODUCTION The Sister-Led Youth Initiative Uganda (SLYIU), a program under the Association of Religious in Uganda (ARU), convened training centre administrators and other participants from the Ecclesiastical Provinces of Gulu and Tororo at the end of January 2026 for an orientation on the Phase III Core Program Areas (CPA).  Among the administrators were Principals, Directors, Headteachers, and delegates serving as senior trainers, educators, and mentors. Together, they shared experiences from Phases I and II and reaffirmed their role as builders of hope for young people, especially the most vulnerable, as they embark on Phase III. Six additional vocational training schools have been included in this phase, bringing the total to 22.
