Millennium Fellowship Project: AGAGO HEALTH OUTREACH
Agago health Outreach is a medical and to an extent a non-medical project I intend to start in my rural home district called Agago in the Northern part of Uganda. Sadly, this is also the poorest region of the country basing on the national information on wealth provided by the government recently.
With this project, I hope to gather around 10 more like minded youths so that we can reach out to the poor people in our free medical camps, we also plan to reach out to schools and have career guidance sessions, we plan to go to community churches and sensitize masses on hood health practices.
Also, we plan to always have training sessions for making of reusable sanitary pads for girls. This has been a leading cause of school dropouts in my home district.
