Passionately serving Northern Uganda's youth and women since 2010
Health
Making a Difference
FICH focuses on delivering effective health services to the community especially in sexual and reproductive health and HIV/AIDS. We always partner with district health leaders and other development partners to deliver outreaches and health services to vulnerable groups.
Through our work in the community, FICH has also recognized the importance of mental health services. We advocate for mental health and healthy lifestyles especially among youth and socially excluded groups. We believe that mental health should be taken as seriously as physical health to determine a person's well being.
Projects
Reusable Menstrual Pads (RUMPS)
FICH has trained over 300 girls and women on menstrual hygiene and reusable menstrual pad making. In an environment where disposable pads are expensive, reusable menstrual pads (RUMPS) empower girls to stay in school and provide a income generating activity for women in the community.
Youth Well-being Camps
FICH has organized well-being camps for youth that focus on HIV/AIDS, mental health, and sexual reproductive health.
