Health age-appropriate information is always among the activities that take place at Better tomorrow community Centre. One of the leading causes of death for girls 15-19 in Uganda is complications in pregnancy and childbirth, most adolescents don’t have access to the education on safe sex and contraception that is needed to prevent unwanted pregnancies. Young people need accurate, unbiased information and health care free from judgement. We believe sexual and reproductive health care is essential for young people to realise their full potential. Their lives depend on it. We strive to ensure our programs empower young people to make their own decisions about their bodies and choose their own path forward. 

 

What We Do

 

• Empower adolescents and youth to make their own decisions about their bodies and their futures by changing community norms related to gender, adolescent sexuality, early marriage, and childbearing

 

• Strengthen health services to offer young people the sexual and reproductive health care they need without judgement or bias, including access to long-acting contraceptive methods

 

• Support young women and first-time parents to delay their first pregnancy and space 

• their births to ensure the health of the mother and her children

 

• Partner with young people to develop new and creative behaviour change strategies like digital health and games that lead to healthier practices and lifelong good habits

 

• Connect young advocates and policymakers to foster supportive policies that promote young people’s health and rights
