Wise Choices for Life UPDATE
October 2018
This month we are focussing on our preparations for the International Conference on Family Planning in Rwanda. The Conference is run by the world powers in promoting contraception across the world, including the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation.

There is much to do to prepare for the three minute flash poster presentation and the exhibitors booth for the three days.

This is a wonderful opportunity for our Ugandan team to showcase their work. Poverty is well connected to the high maternal mortality rate as well as the high teenage pregnancy rate.

Talking about these sensitive subjects has been taboo and even discouraged particularly in religious circles.

"This training is like a missile that goes into the village and approaches the problem right from the roots. It takes care of all the things attached to the problem. I really feel that this training is going to impact lives more than we can imagine."

Daniel Zulu, Headmaster from Zambia (and one of the participants)
