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

Geneva, Switzerland | XINHUA |  "There will be no return to the "old normal" for the foreseeable future as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, and too many countries are still headed in the wrong direction, the chief of the World Health Organization (WHO) warned on Monday. "The virus remains public enemy number one, but the actions of many governments and people do not reflect this," said WHO Director-General Dr. Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus at a regular briefing on Monday. He noted that mixed messages from leaders are undermining trust, which is the most critical ingredient of any response, while the only aim of the virus is to find people to infect. Things are going to "get worse and worse and worse," he warned, unless governments communicate clearly with their citizens and roll out a comprehensive strategy focused on suppressing transmission and saving lives, while populations follow the basic public health principles of ph
