I am Oliver Tumusiime, a proud Youth Empowerment Officer at Youth in Technology and Development Uganda (YITEDEV). Growing up in a small Ugandan community, I witnessed firsthand the struggles of youth unemployment, gender inequality, and limited access to education and opportunities. This inspired my passion to create change. Being selected to attend the prestigious Best Diplomats Conference in Geneva, Switzerland, is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to gain leadership skills, global insights, and practical strategies to empower youth and women in my community. This conference means more than personal growth, it’s about creating pathways for young people, especially girls, to access tools and opportunities to break barriers. Attending this conference will enable me to share the lessons with my community, enhance our ongoing projects in ICT for development, and inspire young people to lead with purpose. Geneva, as a hub of diplomacy and global innovation, offers the perfect platform to amplify my vision of empowering others and creating lasting change in Uganda. Your support in making this dream a reality will not only change my life but will touch the lives of many young people whose futures I am committed to transforming.
