We are Youth Plus Policy Network Uganda.
We build and sustain Youth-Led Solutions for community health and development.
Our Flagship Innovation: DEEPROOTS
Youth Plus Policy Network Uganda is building the DEEPROOTS Community Health System to connect adolescents and young people with trusted health information, services, and leadership opportunities.
Our Impact
Youthplus is building the DEEPROOTS community Health System to bring HIV prevention and health information and services closer to adolescents and young people.
How DEEPROOTS Works
Community Access
Community kiosks, mobile van outreach, and Peer Community Advisors bring information directly into communities.
Digital Support
A toll-free line and online platform allow young people to access confidential information and guidance on HIV, sexual health and contraception.
Advocacy and Leadership
Community dialogues and policy engagement help create environments that support adolescent and youth health.
Why This Work Matters
Adolescents and young people in many communities face barriers to accessing reliable health information and youth-friendly services. Stigma, harmful gender norms, and limited safe spaces for discussion make it difficult for young people to seek guidance.
Youthplus works to address these challenges through youth-led community systems that bring information, services, and leadership opportunities closer to young people.
