03-Reproductive Health & Community Sensitization
Awareness and outreach to protect vulnerable girls and young mothers from exploitation, STIs, and early pregnancies — encouraging dignity, wellbeing, and informed decision-making.
04-MAMA
The MAMA Program is a community-led initiative by Access for Life Uganda (AFLU) that empowers trusted and experienced women to become MAMA Health Champions. Through specialized training in Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR), these women provide health education, mentorship, community awareness, and referrals for adolescent girls and young mothers.
The program responds to the reproductive health challenges facing Kizinda, where many girls and young women have limited access to accurate health information and services. By building on the wisdom and trust of experienced community mothers, MAMA strengthens local support systems and helps girls and young mothers make informed decisions about their health and future.
Working closely with health facilities, local leaders, and community stakeholders, the MAMA Program aims to improve reproductive health knowledge, promote healthy behaviors, increase access to essential services, and create a safer, healthier future for girls, young mothers, and their families.

From bar work to a thriving food business at 17.
Kemi transitioned from bar work into a successful food business after receiving mentorship, entrepreneurship training, and startup support through AFLU. She now saves income weekly, supports her family, and employs another young girl in her growing business.
A mother of two before 19 — now running her own business.
With no stable income and overwhelming pressure to provide, Aisha’s life was a daily struggle. Through AFLU’s mentorship, financial literacy training, and startup capital, she launched a small roadside snacks business that grew into a reliable source of income — a quiet proof that opportunity, support, and trust make transformation possible.
