Youth Health Education: Empowering the Next Generation

Uganda’s youth are the leaders of tomorrow, and their health is the foundation for a brighter future. Health education programs are equipping young people with the knowledge and skills to make informed choices and lead healthy lives.

School-Based Programs

Schools are key venues for health education. Lessons on nutrition, hygiene, sexual health, and mental well-being help students develop lifelong healthy habits.

Peer Education

Youth-led peer groups create safe spaces for open discussion about sensitive topics. Peer educators are trained to share accurate information and support their friends.

Community Outreach

Workshops, sports events, and radio shows reach youth outside the classroom, spreading vital health messages across villages and towns.
