🌟 Transforming Youth Futures in Wakiso! 🌟

Since 2017, Straight Talk Foundation (STF), with support from Save the Children, has been implementing the Baana Project to increase access to SRHR information and services for young people in Kakiri, Namayumba, Masuliita, and Gombe sub-counties of Wakiso District.

📚 Over the years, the project has:
✅ Reached 1,350,000 in-school adolescents with age-appropriate SRHR information.
✅ Directly interacted with 3,240 learners face-to-face from 82 target schools.
✅ Engaged 54,000+ out-of-school youth around 23 target health facilities.

💡 STF has focused on producing and disseminating age-appropriate content for both in-school and out-of-school youth. Through Young Talk newsletters, distributed with the support of Senior Woman and Senior Man teachers trained in youth-friendly SRHR service delivery, adolescents have gained vital knowledge to make informed choices.

Together, we are building healthier, empowered communities where young people can thrive! 🌍✨

🌍✨ Dialogue for Safer, Healthier Futures!

Straight Talk Foundation (STF), in partnership with Amuru District Local Government and the dedicated health workers of POGO Health Centre III, held an engaging dialogue with young people on the traditional norms, attitudes, and values that affect the realization of Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (ASRHR).

💬 A trained health worker facilitated discussions, helping youth identify and “harvest” traditional barriers that limit access to ASRHR services at the facility.
🛡️ The facility nurse also shared safety measures to prevent the spread of Ebola virus, a critical concern as Amuru borders Adjumani and other West Nile districts currently at high risk.

Together, we are strengthening prevention, protection, and response to sexual violence, while safeguarding communities against health threats.
