" Humility, empathy, and inclusion are the core values that drive my work and passion as a Millennium Fellow. These values shape my approach to sexual and reproductive health education, where I seek to create spaces of understanding, respect, and support for every student. By fostering an environment where all voices are heard, I aim to empower students to make informed, compassionate choices about their health and well-being. Through this project, I hope to contribute to a more inclusive society, where everyone has access to the knowledge and resources they deserve. "
Millennium Fellowship Project: Afya Campus- Sexual Health AI Chatbot & Campaign
Many Makerere University students in Uganda face sexual health challenges, including sexually transmitted diseases, sexual harassment, unwanted pregnancies, unsafe abortions, and incorrect contraception use. Many lack information about symptoms, prevention, when and where to seek care, and long-term complications.
To address this, the project introduces Afya Campus, an AI chatbot providing fast, reliable sexual and reproductive health information. It offers guidance on screening, testing, legal aid, counseling, and specific topics like HIV, HPV vaccination, cervical cancer screening, safe male circumcision, contraception, PEP after rape, ARV treatment, PrEP, menstrual health, and family planning. The goal is to bridge critical information gaps for Makerere University students
