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 ...

Dance If You Cannot Afford The Gym!

Create space at home for conducting healing dances There is a power that the drum, rhythm and pattern draw into one watching a dancing performance. You will agree with me that dance moves can emotionally move one to upliftment, joy, laughter, awe, inspiration and admiration. That is the beauty of dance. Create spaces for members at your household to participate in dancing even as they watch others move in delicate and sometimes very complicated dance moves. Some moves require deep breathing, moving of arms, twisting one’s hips and breaking a bone here or there as it were. Dance can make one gain their physical strength and mental clarity. Dance is transformative and healing opportunity. There are some people who consider dancing as a cure for much of what ails us. It may not be the answer to every health crisis, but there's no doubt that it has its benefits to the body and mind in many ways. Some of the physical effects of dance are that it improves...
