Faith for Family Health initiative (3FHi) is excited to be implementing a high-impact community health initiative this week (20th–23rd April 2026) in Kanara Town Council and Kanara Sub-county, Ntoroko District.

Under the Uzazi Salama Project, we are working closely with schools, communities, and multi-sectoral stakeholders to promote healthier futures for adolescents and strengthen local health systems.

Key Activities This Week:

• Empowering the Next Generation in Schools We are equipping school stakeholders, teachers, and members of school health clubs with age-appropriate information on:

  • Overall health and hygiene
  • Healthy relationships
  • Mental health awareness
  • Comprehensive health education
  • Adolescent health promotion

  These sessions aim to directly contribute to reducing teenage pregnancies, sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), and mental health challenges among young people.

• Linking Adolescent Health with Climate Change Adaptation We are demonstrating the critical connection between environmental factors and well-being, while showing how informed and empowered youth can build more resilient communities in the face of climate-related challenges around Lake Albert.

• Strengthening Frontline Community Health Workers Village Health Teams (VHTs) and frontline health workers are receiving practical capacity-building training on:

  • Identifying community health needs
  • Making timely referrals to health facilities
  • Delivering accurate, trusted health information to households

• Multi-Sectoral Engagement for Sustainable Impact We are actively engaging:

  • Religious leaders
  • Fisher folks and beach management committees
  • Market leaders
  • Parish Development Model (PDM) Assistants
  • Other multi-sectoral stakeholders

  Together, we are providing targeted health information and guiding communities on how to integrate health priorities with the Parish Development Model (PDM). This linkage enables households to access both essential health services and financial support for sustainable livelihoods.

This integrated, multi-sectoral approach is strengthening community systems, protecting adolescents, and connecting health with economic empowerment — creating lasting change for families in Kanara and across Ntoroko District.

We are proud to be part of this collective effort toward healthier, more resilient communities.
