Project Details

The Baana Project, implemented with support from Save the Children, expands access to accurate and age-appropriate SRHR information for adolescents in Wakiso District. The project operates across 82 schools and 23 health facilities in Kakiri, Namayumba, Masuliita, and Gombe sub-counties.

It combines print media, radio programming, and structured youth engagement to reach both in-school and out-of-school adolescents. Over 30,000 newsletters are distributed to schools, while live radio talk shows on CBS FM extend SRHR messaging to wider community audiences.

Youth champions play a central role by facilitating listenership sessions and peer learning, reaching over 7,000 out-of-school young people and strengthening community-based support systems for adolescent health and wellbeing.
