Voices from communities and partners we proudly serve.

Kabango Town Council
Kabango Town Council
Masindi District
“Using Forum Theatre drama has helped us reflect on real-life experiences in our communities and openly discuss challenges that many young people fear talking about. Through the performances, we are not only identifying problems but also exploring possible solutions together as a community. I now feel more confident speaking to others about reproductive health, challenging stigma, and encouraging young people to seek accurate information and lawful care. The experience has shown me that young people can use art and dialogue to create positive change.” – Female Youth participant during a Forum Theatre engagement in Kabango Town Council, Masindi District.

“Before attending this forum, I feared even asking questions about reproductive health because of the stigma and misinformation in our community. I always thought discussing these issues openly would bring judgment or shame. However, the Legal Literacy and Health Forum helped me understand that seeking information and lawful healthcare is my right. Hearing directly from legal professionals and health experts gave us confidence, clarified many misconceptions, and helped us better understand the law and the importance of safe, compassionate care. These discussions are helping our community break the silence and make informed decisions.” – Male Youth participant during a Legal Literacy and Health Forum in Masindi District.

“I used to fear going to the hospital and often advised friends to seek help from traditional healers because of the stigma, fear, and misinformation surrounding reproductive health issues in our community. After attending the community dialogue sessions, I now understand the importance of seeking lawful, safe, and professional healthcare. The discussions helped me realize that many of the things we believed were based on rumors and fear rather than accurate information. I especially thank the health worker who patiently explained the available services, confidentiality, and the dangers of unsafe practices. That information gave me confidence and changed the way I think about reproductive health care. I now encourage others to seek accurate information and support from qualified health providers.” – a Female Participant reflecting after community dialogue sessions in Labongo subcounty in Masindi District.

“Before these community engagements, I rarely accompanied my wife to the health facility, even for antenatal care, because many men in our community believe reproductive health issues are only for women. Through the discussions and Forum Theatre sessions, I have learned that men also have a responsibility to support their partners and families. I now understand that accompanying my wife to the health facility is part of caring for our family’s health and wellbeing. I am also encouraging my fellow men to stop leaving women alone in these situations and instead support them to seek accurate information and lawful healthcare services.” – Male participant during a community engagement session in Pakanyi Sub county - Masindi District.
