About Us

Why We exist

3FHi is an inter-faith national NGO, run by technical staff with support from Board Members (https://3fhi.org/governance) who are eminent faith leaders and scholars in Uganda.

For over 8 years, through its interfaith-led model and multisectoral approach, over 1000 interfaith religious leaders have been trained as health champions and other champions including media, political leaders, cultural leaders and youth in 31 districts and at national
level.

We leverage on the convening power and authority of faith leaders to provide positive local solutions to policy, structural and normative challenges to Women, Children and Adolescent Health (WCAH) in Uganda.

3FHi's Efforts Focus on :

1. Improving advocacy engagement to achieve accountability and enabling legal and policy
environment around issues of family planning, adolescent health, maternal health and child
health by 2030.

2. Increasing demand and uptake of family planning, adolescent health, child and maternal
health services for women, children and adolescents in Uganda.

3. Enhancing capacity of faith-based organizations (FBOs), civil society organization
(CSOs)and individuals to advocate for issues around family planning, adolescent health,
child and maternal health services for women, children, and adolescents in Uganda

Our Approach
Our overarching approach is building programme, advocacy, and leadership capacity of Inter-Faith and religious leaders and other multisectoral actors to sustainably address the underlying structural,
biomedical, behavioral, economic, social, and policy determinants for health through change and
transformative processes and advocate for the improvement of health and well-being. 3FHi works with diverse faith institutions and structures, including Muslims and Christians (Protestants,Evangelicals, Pentecostal, and African Indigenous Faiths) from the grassroots to the national level. Further, we are engaging with mainstream cultural institutions and with the networks of communitybased organizations, community leadership, local media, and youth in amplifying their voices while influencing the health and gender actions.

We have proven capability to engage with media, political leadership, and executives at different levels. We have experienced technical staff with enviable leadership from the board members. With project coverage across 31 districts, we are well-experienced to connect women, children, girls, and adolescents, and institutions that serve them with district, national, and global health dialogues actions
