 About Me |
I am one of founder members of the Sexual Health Improvement Project (SHIP)in Uganda. We are passionate and enthusiastic to share, transfer and impart the knowledge and skills acquired on adolescent sexual health and HIV prevention. Teenage girls are dropping out of school due to pregnancy and that girls are more vulnerable to social economic hardships resulting from a lack of education.
Although the school curriculum has incorporated Sexual Health Education, in both primary and secondary school level, studies reveal that due to several factors, the education system has not provided children with; accessible and accurate knowledge and information about the process of sexual maturation, essential facilities to ensure that children, especially girls are not excluded from full participation in the system because of their maturing bodies and an adequate and appropriate value system through which boys and girls can be guided into safe and healthy adulthood.
We use innovative, non formal, interactive and participatory approaches to sexual health education. The project also incorporates issues such as self esteem and gender stereotypes.
SHIP Sexual Health Educators (SHEs) have been trained to cover 6 secondary schools to provide the sexual health skills to adolescents as a strategy for continuity and sustainability of the programme.
