At WESHARE Uganda Child Foundation, we believe that every young person deserves the opportunity to live a healthy, dignified, and fulfilling life. Through our HIV/AIDS & Adolescent Health Program, we provide integrated healthcare, prevention services, psychosocial support, and youth empowerment initiatives for children, adolescents, and young people who are affected by or vulnerable to HIV.
Our approach goes beyond treatment and medication refills. We focus on strengthening mental well-being, restoring hope, reducing stigma, and empowering young people to become confident ambassadors of change within their communities.
Working closely with Kajjansi Health Centre IV and local community structures, we ensure continuous care, early diagnosis, and a supportive environment where every child and young person feels valued, respected, and empowered.
Creating Safe Spaces Through Youth Community Hubs
Our Youth Community Hubs serve as safe, inclusive spaces where young people can learn, connect, heal, and grow. These hubs provide opportunities for education, mentorship, peer support, and personal development in an environment free from judgment and discrimination.
Through these hubs, we focus on:
HIV/AIDS awareness, prevention, and education
Mental health support and peer counseling
Emotional well-being and resilience building
Life skills and leadership development
Open discussions on relationships, identity, and decision-making
Sexual and reproductive health awareness and education
Fighting stigma through peer-led advocacy and dialogue
Empowering youth to become positive change-makers within their communities
We believe that young people are not just beneficiaries of services—they are leaders who have the power to shape healthier and more informed communities.
Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) Clinic – Every Wednesday
Every Wednesday, WESHARE collaborates with the dedicated medical team at Kajjansi Health Centre IV to support the Early Infant Diagnosis (EID) Clinic. The clinic focuses on children born to mothers living with HIV, ensuring they receive timely testing, treatment, and ongoing support.
Over the years, this partnership has contributed to many successful outcomes, with numerous children being discharged from care after receiving appropriate support and achieving positive health results.
Services provided include:
Early HIV testing and timely diagnosis for infants
Growth monitoring and nutritional support
Treatment follow-up and linkage to care
Counseling and psychosocial support for caregivers
Adherence support and long-term child wellness monitoring
Through early intervention and continuous care, we help ensure that every child has the best possible start in life.
Adolescent Clinic – Every Thursday
Our Adolescent Clinic, held every Thursday, provides youth-friendly services designed to address the unique health, emotional, and developmental needs of adolescents and young adults.
The clinic offers a safe and confidential environment where young people can access holistic healthcare and support services, including:
HIV testing, treatment, and adherence support
Sexual and reproductive health education
Mental health screening and psychosocial counseling
Support for anxiety, depression, and emotional challenges
Guidance on relationships, identity, and responsible decision-making
Self-esteem building and stigma reduction programs
We are committed to creating spaces where young people are heard, respected, and empowered to take charge of their health and future.
Commemorating World AIDS Day
Every year, WESHARE joins the global community in commemorating World AIDS Day. This important occasion allows us to remember those who have lost their lives to HIV/AIDS, honor children who have been orphaned by the epidemic, and stand in solidarity with individuals and families living with HIV.
We also celebrate the remarkable progress made in clinical medicine, scientific research, prevention strategies, and supportive policies that continue to improve lives and bring us closer to ending the HIV epidemic.
Our World AIDS Day activities include:
Community outreach and awareness campaigns
Youth-led dialogues and advocacy sessions
Mental health and stigma reduction forums
HIV testing and education drives
Television programs and video broadcasts
Personal testimonies that inspire hope and resilience
Through these activities, we reinforce a powerful message: HIV is not a barrier to living a meaningful, productive, and successful life.
Our Commitment to the Future
At WESHARE Uganda Child Foundation, we are committed to building a generation of informed, resilient, and stigma-free young people who can lead positive change in their communities.
By integrating healthcare services, mental health support, mentorship, education, and youth empowerment, we are helping create a future where HIV is met with knowledge, compassion, understanding, and dignity.
Together, we are raising healthy minds, strong voices, and fearless ambassadors of change.
