Blaze a trail across the Heart of Uganda! Make a real, positive, meaningful change to the Pearl of Africa.

You will:

* Help to Set up a RYE School.
* Check out if the SDM (Single Days Method) is viable in Uganda.
It may or may not be appropriate depending on HIV prevalence and other factors

Many Ugandans are unaware of what their basic human rights are. Understanding your rights is the first step to empowerment.

We'll be traveling to nearby Rwanda to check out a successful program there and hopefully replicate it.
