Get Involved | Partner with us
We would like to build the first-ever fact-checking organisation in Uganda with you. Partners like yourself are essential to our success and we would love to collaborate with you whether you are a company, an agency, NGO, an individual, a civil society organisation or a media company to ensure lasting impact.
Our partners help us attain impact by offering all kinds of support to maximise our reach and impact so that young people across the African continent are based on correct and accurate information to make informed decisions about their health, education, and human rights.
Work with us to develop innovative digital solutions that align with your organisational priorities and values, and support our organisation that fosters access to information as a fundamental human right for youths in Africa.
The Debunk Bot
Support our work by funding our Bot. You can also become our resident expert to answer claims on the platform by sending your details to our email if you are interested. The bot works by sending a claim through our chat on the website or Whatsapp contact and it will be received by our fact checkers who will investigate the facts and forward factual information to you in real-time. The more information it picks up, the better it gets at automatically fact-checking.
Fund A Fact Check?
We carry out fact-checks with different sectors on climate change, health, business, current affairs and debunk narratives. You can share with us an email on thedebunk@gmail.com . Whilst we need financial support for producing these shows, texts and sponsorships to make our work easier, we are committed to our policy of non-partisanship and commitment to total fact-checking without bias or interference.
