Rwenzori Peace Initiative (RPI)integrates health promotion as a cornerstone of our peace-building efforts, focusing on empowering youths, young women, and marginalized groups through targeted interventions. By addressing critical health issues, we foster conditions essential for sustainable peace and development in the Rwenzori region.

Our program emphasizes;

1. Reproductive Health and Sexual Rights Services. Access to comprehensive reproductive health services empowers individuals to make informed choices, promoting bodily autonomy and reducing conflicts related to reproductive health issues.
2. HIV/AIDS Awareness and Prevention: By raising awareness and providing essential health services, we mitigate the impact of HIV/AIDS, contributing to social stability and reducing health-related vulnerabilities that can lead to conflict.
3. Drug Abuse Prevention: Prevention initiatives promote community cohesion and resilience against substance abuse, reducing social tensions and enhancing overall well-being.
4. Early Pregnancies Prevention: Supporting young women in preventing early pregnancies contributes to their educational and economic empowerment, reducing socio-economic disparities and fostering community stability.
5. Mental Health Support: Addressing mental health challenges reduces stress and interpersonal conflicts, promoting a peaceful environment where individuals can thrive and contribute positively to society.
6. Through these initiatives, RPI not only enhances health outcomes but also contributes to a peaceful environment by addressing underlying social determinants of conflict. By promoting health, autonomy, and community resilience, we lay the groundwork for sustainable peace and development in the Rwenzori region.
