PROGRAM FOR PREVENTION, AWARENESS, COUNSELING AND TREATMENT OF ALCOHOLISM/ADDICTIVE ILLNESSES (PACTA)

In 2004, World Health Organization ranked Uganda No. 1 in the world in alcohol consumption. PACTA was founded in June 2004 after an assessment of the needs of the local community that had suffered from a long period of war, the global burdens of HIV/AIDS, and the needs of persons and families suffering from the problems of alcohol/drug abuse in Uganda. Northern Uganda has been greatly affected by the war which lasted over 20 years. Currently, the region is experiencing a period of relative peace, the effects of the war can be seen very clearly. Excessive consumption of alcohol and other psychoactive drugs are major causes of domestic violence, poverty, divorce, school drop outs, and criminal activities. PACTA Gulu Recovery Connection was established with a mission to alleviate pain, suffering, and helplessness caused by substance abuse and to strengthen the community capacity to mitigate the impact of substance abuse through addressing logical objectives. The program started with community sensitization and psychosocial support for individuals and families within the community. It has now expanded to schools, prisons, and covers a larger area.

In a collaborative effort to promote mental health and prevent substance abuse among school-going children, PACTA Uganda partnered with Hashtag Gulu to conduct an engaging outreach program at Gulu Public Primary School. The initiative aimed to raise awareness about the dangers of substance abuse and to equip pupils with coping strategies for mental health challenges.

This initiative is part of a broader commitment to enhance mental health awareness and prevention strategies in schools, with more activities planned in the future to continue supporting the youth in Gulu.

Drugs and alcohol might feel like a quick fix, a way to numb the pain or escape reality. But the truth is, they don’t heal the wounds—they just cover them up. Eventually, the pain resurfaces, often worse than before. 💔

Real healing comes from facing what’s underneath. Whether it’s past trauma, stress, or loneliness, recovery gives you the tools to heal from the inside out. You are stronger than your struggles, and you deserve real healing. 💪

Commemorating International Women’s Day 2025

Today, as we celebrate International Women’s Day, we reflect on the strength, resilience, and struggles of women and girls in the Acholi sub-region and beyond. While progress has been made over the years, many women and girls continue to face immense challenges, particularly those in single-female-headed households, which are on the rise due to increasing family breakage.

Too often, men impregnate women and abandon them, leaving mothers to shoulder the burden alone. Faced with economic hardship, many of these women focus solely on providing for their families, often at the expense of emotional connection and guidance for their children. This widening gap in family support and parental care has led to a growing number of girls in street situations, where they become vulnerable to teenage prostitution, early marriage, and teenage motherhood—continuing the cycle of poverty and instability.

Empowering women is at the heart of breaking this cycle in our view at Hashtag Gulu. With our partnership with Family Life Network (Uganda), we empower parents—mostly women—with positive parenting skills as a preventive intervention to stop children from opting for the streets. Second is having a platform for model parents in slums and neighborhoods of juvenile delinquency where positive change should be grown from within.

We reaffirm our commitment to being a truly community-centered organisation, tackling pressing social issues through collective solutions. On this International Women’s Day, we call for action, support, and policies that uplift ALL women and girls, ensuring their rights, equality, and empowerment are not just ideals but realities.
