Founded in 2010 by a group of Ugandan medical students, CEFARH (Centre For Adolescent Reproductive Health) works to be a voice for the voiceless and the oppressed.We started with the aim of helping young people affected by HIV/AIDS, reducing teenage pregnancy and decreasing child marriage. Activities and scope of the organization broadened during the years: child marriage and teenage pregnancy are still pillars of our work and we added other projects to improve population overall quality of life.
MISSION: Provide appropriate opportunities to enable people – especially young women, people with disabilities and children – to take control of their bodies and lives, have their rights respected and improve their quality of life so they can live to their fullest potential.
VISION: To be the leading organization amplifying the voice of the voiceless.
