As part of the Mastercard Foundation EdTech Fellowship implemented by Hive Colab facilitated a two day session on Safeguarding, Child Protection & Disability Inclusion, helping participating ventures of cohort I reflect on how to create safer, more inclusive learning environments
Safeguarding & inclusion must go beyond training. EdTech ventures need practical measures, accessible platforms, clear responsibilities & appropriate reporting procedures to protect users & respond to diverse learner needs.
Responsible innovation starts with putting people first

Testing learning solutions can reveal confusing interfaces, accessibility barriers, navigation difficulties, & other issues that may affect the learning experience
Identifying these challenges early gives founders an opportunity to address them before they become bigger problems

From refugee policies and coordination systems to self-reliance and education needs, the session offered valuable insights into designing more inclusive learning solutions.
Thank you to the @OPMUganda facilitators and @hivecolab for this learning opportunity.

Every big idea starts with a small step. You don’t need to have everything figured out to begin. Take action, learn from the process, and keep improving.
This week, move one idea forward. Your next step could spark meaningful change!

HAPPY INDEPENDENCE DAY, UGANDA!
Our independence is more than a celebration of our past. It is a reminder of the future we can build together through unity, innovation & the courage to create change
Together, let’s build a Uganda where every idea has the power to shape tomorrow
Inclusive EdTech means designing for learners wherever they are, including those navigating displacement.
