Most At Risk Populations' Society in Uganda ( MARPS in Uganda)

-
Most At Risk Populations' Society in Uganda (MARPS in Uganda) started off as The Good Samaritan Uganda in 1997, as an orphan support Programme.

 Later it morphed into Sexuality, Orientation, Gender, Identity and Health (SOGIAH) Uganda with major activities around visibility activism, training or facilitating leadership workshops and working to improve health of marginalized communities e.g., LGBTIQQ, Sex-workers, People living with HIV, Youths (especially out of school) and Women. 

 In/around 2007, the name "Most At Risk Populations' Society" was floated and adopted. Around 2008, we saw it prudent to join hands with Most At Risk Populations' Network (Marps Network) and Most At Risk Populations' Initiative (MARPI). By, 2009 we went separate ways. Our work is around ensuring individuals living with HIV receive the full response toward their needs. 
This is what makes us different from other organizations. Full response to the needs of a person living with HIV. This means optimal ART Adherence. We manage other blogs and hopefully you will get time to go through them too.

Sexual and Reproductive health Is Business You Should Mind About! We have sexual rights, reproductive responsibilities; body agency, autonomy and self-determination goals. The dignity of humanity and the reward for healthy goals is possible when we participate in understanding who and what we are. We deploy this to negotiate for life enhancing practices or resources. Sexual health as a resource is one area we are striving to share with our beneficiaries with aim of breaking it down for them as an empowering tool for quality life experiences. Sexual and reproductive health is a resource one uses to participate in quality life experiences and self-determination. According to the American Sexual Health Association, “ sexual health is the ability to embrace and enjoy our sexuality throughout our lives. It is an important part of our physical and emotional health. Being sexually healthy means: Understanding that sexuality is a natural part of life and involves more

We are so happy to celebrate WALAI team, animating "living together in peace!" After the recently concluded COVID-19 Loser Africa "Do No Harm" Campaign, we resolved to create Prevention Communities of Best Practices. We want to make our communities tolerate us. We join hands and hope this relationship will be built around creating and owning self esteem narratives as CBO groups willing to "take health in their hands!" We hope that all other LGBTIQQ leaders will be pleased to support our narrative. Our appeal goes out to some out there who are prone to toxicity and negativity for once to think harder. Don't talk behind our backs, don't stick daggers in our backs. Health is a beneficial resource which can enable us build a support system from scratch. Support us as we posit the following: LGBTIQQ Identity Can Be Used For Creating Self Esteem in Homestead Communities Through Strategic Self-Esteem and Rapport Building Activities

A Born Well Child Campaign 9 th  June- 8 th  July 2020 COVID-19 and Aggression toward Children When you are an adult and that child cannot access hand-washing materials due to your actions or inaction, then that is a COVID-19 related vulnerability and aggression.  We must provide opportunities for children to grow and develop well. Every child has the right to be born well, to be cared for and raised well. When you are a family and the children cannot access food, care, love, compassion, privacy, agency, autonomy and self-determination tools, then that is aggression. When you are a community and that community cannot provide the necessary safety nets to avoid COVID-19, then that is aggression. There are different  types of abuses: ·           Physical abuse. ·           sexual child abuse (Rape, molestation, child pornography) ·           Neglect (Physical neglect, educational neglect, and lack of protection from diseases) ·           Emotional abuse (Verbal, Me
