Uganda’s Youth Majority
Over 75% of Uganda’s population is under 30. On paper, this is a gift — a young, energetic, creative population. But in reality, it is a tragedy: the youth majority remains voiceless.
Barriers Everywhere
• Subpar education locks doors.
• Unemployment forces dependence.
• Corruption and favoritism bury merit.
• Politics sidelines the majority in favor of a few.
The result? Talents wasted, innovation stifled, potential buried.
The Human Toll
• Some youth turn to crime, drugs, or risky migration routes.
• Others sink into silent depression, convinced their dreams no longer matter.
This is not accidental — it is systemic injustice. And when youth are silenced, nations stagnate.
Breaking the Chains
Uganda’s progress depends on freeing youth voices. The young must move from being statistics to being leaders, decision-makers, and innovators.
DOY’s Commitment
At DOY, we amplify silenced voices and demand inclusion.
We call on policymakers, institutions, and partners to work with us in building a Uganda where youth are heard, empowered, and central to national progress.
If youth are the future, then muting them today is a betrayal.
