Grace Obalim Ojara, National Coordinator for Mental Health and Psychosocial Support, officiated the launch of the campaign. She was representing the Assistant Commissioner for Mental Health and Substance Abuse Control Dr. Hafsa Lukwata at the launch.

1K Campaign to support and promote mental health among adolescent youth in Uganda officially launched.

She noted that the  initiative aims to mobilize resources and support for mental health awareness programs.

“We are going to ensure that each and every national and local mental health partner in the country receives a box that is representing the 1k Campaign and at the end of 1 year from now, we shall all need another football galla together where we will officially open these boxes and declare how much money we will have been able to collect,” said Grace Obalim Ojara.

The initiative marked a significant milestone in the country’s journey towards mental health awareness.

Accordingly, the campaign will feature community dialogues, school outreaches, TV drama episodes, and mental health podcasts, with annual accountability sessions held every August.
