From school to creating employment opportunities for fellow young people. Mutesi Sauya- Visionary PathWays together with fellow students turned a school initiative into a Community Based Organization through creating opportunities for young people to gain practical skills, access mentorship, and become financially independent. For Sauya and her friends, entrepreneurship is more than starting a business. It is about helping young people recognize their potential. Their #SDGsImpactStory is championing decent work and economic growth. Whats Yours?

At the Post International Youth Day Webinar on Different Contexts, Common Aspirations hosted by @Youth4SDGsUga , @KalemaxA has shared lessons from serving as a UN Youth Delegate for Uganda and leading digital storytelling at @UNAUganda like #MySDGsImpactStory campaign. "The aspiration is the bridge; the context gives the story its meaning." Young people may live in different realities, but many share the same hopes: opportunity, dignity, good health, participation and a better future. Digital storytelling helps move us from statistics to people, from assumptions to understanding. The technology is not the story. The person is the story. And as we implement the #PactForTheFuture, enough of calling young people the leaders of tomorrow. Their tomorrow is now.

The stories of young people contributing to the different SDGs are endless. Kean, President of the Cavendish University UNAU Chapter, is championing SDG 3 through his passion for mental health and well-being. Like Kean, many young people have stories that remain untold. We’re bringing life to their efforts. #MySDGsImpactStory

The SDGs are not only found in reports, conferences or policy documents. They are in the young person creating work, the farmer adopting better practices, the teacher keeping a child in school, the health worker serving a community. Across Uganda, people are doing things that make a difference. #MySDGsImpactStory is here to find those stories, put faces and numbers to the work, and show what progress looks like on the ground. This is more than a campaign. It is a record of what Ugandans are doing to move their communities forward. What is your #MySDGsImpactStory?
