AS A TOOL FOR DEVELOPMENT |
| Africa
Youth Ministries Uganda is a Child & Youth focused Faith Based
Non Profit Organisation operating in Uganda. The organisation has
a past documented success story in reaching in school young people
with a message of HIV/AIDS & Adolescent pregnancy prevention.
Learning from the experience of many other community development
organisations using sport as a medium for development, Africa Youth
Ministries Uganda is embarking on integrating sports in its HIV/AIDS
prevention programs. |
|
| This
will start with Rakai District, Why we selected Rakai District for
our Program launching, you will realise that the 1st HIV/AIDS case
in Uganda was identified in Rakai District in 1982, and since then
the HIV/AIDS epidemic has had a profound impact on the population
of Rakai District, in some villages some families or homes were
completely erased by the scourge. |
|
| According
to the current Ministry of Health epidamology Surveilence report,
Rakai prevalence rate still stands very high at 15%, yet the declared
national prevalence rate is 6%. It is on this basis that Africa
Youth Ministries Uganda has embarked on a more rigorous HIV/AIDS
Prevention Campaigns in the District of Rakai. Africa Youth Ministries
Uganda has been operating in the District of Rakai since 2004 working
in partnership with Rakai Women Against AIDS Rhythm Troupe. |
|
| Our
Sports & HIV/AIDS prevention program is meant to run as a continuous
program, only if funds to implement & sustain this program are
realized. Inter village, Parish, Sub-county, County & at the
District level will be conducted in collaboration with the Rakai
Districts Sports Desk & local authorities. All sports teams
are composed of young people who have been Orphaned by AIDS or indirectly
affected by the AIDS epidemic. Africa Youth Ministries Uganda is
working in partnership various organisations to integrate sport
in our HIV/AIDS & Adolescent prevention programs |
