About Us – Rhythm of Life Uganda

ABOUT RHYTHM OF LIFE PROJECT

Rhythm of Life is a non-profit organization formed in 2013. Currently, we run health outreaches in the red light districts of Kampala (Uganda) for HIV-positive sex workers. In time, our aim is to build a permanent health cafe in Kampala for these women who have / are facing stigma and exclusion from healthcare.

We also want to bring an end to the cycle of mother-to-daughter prostitution. We have created a sponsorship programme to support their daughters in education and professional healthcare training. Most importantly, through our economic empowerment initiatives, our women will eventually be able to independently support their daughters through school.

Our Mission

We work towards improving the health of sex workers in Uganda and breaking the vicious cycle of mother-to- daughter prostitution by establishing and running health cafes in their red light areas and providing education accessibility to their daughters.

Health Outreaches

We have so far impacted on 5360 sex workers through our health outreaches to awaken their consciousness and concern about their health, equip them with relevant information needed for positive living and motivating them to know and stand for their right to health against all odds of the national health system that excludes them.

School Outreaches

We are so established in 50 schools in Makindye Division reaching out to over 1850 girls yet periodically we as well receive invitations and proposals from other schools and head teachers to scale up this program.
