ABOUT
Amplifying Refugee Youth Voices for Health Equity is a project implemented by Refugee Healthcare Providers Initiative in Uganda, focusing on refugee youth and refugee communities. The project addresses limited access to essential health information and services, as well as limited involvement of refugee youth in decisions affecting their health and well-being. Through safe spaces, leadership-building activities, community engagement, collaboration with local leaders and service providers, and access to sexual and reproductive health and mental health information, it contributes to healthier refugee communities in Uganda.
“ We envision a future where refugee youth are informed, confident, and actively involved in decisions that affect their health and well-being. Through this initiative, we aim to strengthen their access to quality health services, amplify their voices in community and policy spaces, and build inclusive systems where every young person is heard, valued, and supported to thrive. ”
