Our Commitment
AYINET is Committed to Making Peace and Justice a Reality for Victims and Survivors of War
The Night is Long for a Hungry Child
Pursuing prosperity measured by children’s well-being
This is a campaign inspired by the plight of young people and communities caught up in the intertwined challenges of Climate Change, Conflict and Poverty. Our outcome-focused scalable response plan prioritises addressing the interconnected root causes of those three main threats by;
- Creating a supportive environment where young people can thrive,
- Ensuring Families living more secured, dignified and fulfilling lives, and
- Improving populations’ well-being through self-help for self-reliance activities
The message of “The Night is Long for a Hungry Child”, as sung by the iconic South-African musician Lucky Dube, goes beyond giving hope where there is despair, neither is it cry for help; but partnership to build effective system such as healthcare, education, road, job creation, and leadership population can trust and count on.

…“Collectively, our solidarity with war victims’ world-over. I wish to applaud the African Youth Initiative Network- AYINET, for hosting the War Victims Day Football Game. Football has brought us together today. World leaders, ICC State Delegates, War Victims and all people of good will for the noble cause. As we participate, each in our unique ways, we have the opportunity to identify with our brothers and sisters whose lives have regrettably not only been affected, but also defined by war and other cowardly acts of terrorism and crimes against humanity. Together with the United Nations, we in The Republic of Uganda express our solidarity with war victims”
