Peer To Peer Uganda (PEERU) is a non-profit and nongovernmental organization operating under Company No. 210474, NGO No. INDR154924606NB, and with a Permit No. INDP0004606NB. PEERU works towards social transformation and development among the youth aged (10 – 30 years). We provide, equip, and inspire adolescents and youth with high quality, high impact and gender sensitive programming through strategic communication, advocacy, capacity building, and specialized service referral and linkages, around integrated Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights, HIV/AIDS, TB, Maternal Health, and Harm reduction. Our programs are based on a holistic bottom up model, focusing on individual leadership change as well as systematic change in policy and practice towards a more supportive environment for youth driven development.
Our mission is to promote universal access to general health, sexual and reproductive health and rights through research, advocacy and innovative partnerships.
Through integrated SRH programs, we strive to contribute to improved lives of adolescents and youth both in and out of school.
Through integrated HIV behavior change communication interventions, outreach programs, and advocating for a favorable environment, we reach out to young people living with and most vulnerable to HIV.
Targeting adolescents and youth both in and out of schools, we extend age appropriate Tuberculosis initiatives across various communities in Uganda.
Under our peer mothers program, we extend sexual and reproductive health programs, nutritional health, pre and postnatal care, and livelihood programs to young mothers in the reproductive age of 10 – 24 years.
We conduct Harm Reduction interventions with a shift in emphasis from prevention only to added importance of limited monitoring use and rehabilitation.
