Our Work
A 36-Month Community Health Programme for Young Parents
Hope 4 Teen Parents Uganda is implementing a structured, community-based health programme combining clinical care, outreach, education, psychosocial support, referral and parenting skills — designed specifically for adolescents, teenage mothers, teenage fathers and their children in Tororo District.
Our Approach
How We Work
A community-based model that creates multiple entry points into care for young parents.
01
Go to the Community
We bring health information and selected preventive services directly to young people — rather than waiting for them to come to a facility.
02
Create a Safe Space
We provide a welcoming, non-judgmental point of care where adolescents and teenage parents can ask questions and access services confidentially.
03
Identify & Refer Early
We identify health problems early and link clients to appropriate health facilities and specialist services before conditions worsen.
04
Follow Up & Support
We track referrals, follow up with clients and maintain a referral network so no young parent falls through the gaps between services.
Programme Components
10 Areas of Work
Our 36-month programme covers ten integrated components, all delivered in community settings.
Sexual & Reproductive Health
Age-appropriate SRH education, contraceptive counselling, STI screening, pregnancy counselling, menstrual health and healthy relationship education.
HIV Prevention, Testing & Linkage
HIV prevention information, risk-reduction counselling, testing through approved pathways, linkage to treatment and stigma-reduction education.
Maternal, Newborn & Child Health
Antenatal linkage, skilled delivery support, postnatal care, immunisation, child growth monitoring, danger-sign recognition and referral.
Mental Health & Psychosocial Support
Basic psychosocial support, stress-management education, parenting and relationship support, group sessions and referral of complex cases.
Nutrition, Hygiene & Sanitation
Nutrition education for adolescents and young parents, infant and young-child feeding guidance, hygiene promotion and safe-water education.
Substance-Use Prevention
Factual education on alcohol, tobacco and drugs; life-skills strengthening; identification of young people needing additional support; and referral.
Parenting, Life Skills & Fatherhood
Practical sessions on newborn care, communication, budgeting, positive parenting, responsible fatherhood, conflict management and future planning.
Teenage Parent Support Groups
Separate and mixed group sessions for teenage mothers and fathers covering practical skills, mutual support, mental wellbeing and goal setting.
Youth Peer Education
Trained youth peer educators share approved health information, mobilise peers, counter misinformation and connect young people to professional services.
In Action
Connecting Young Parents to Qualified Health Workers
Community outreach sessions bring qualified health workers directly to young parents — providing testing, counselling and health education in a safe, accessible setting outside of a formal health facility.
Where services fall outside H4TPU's scope, clients are referred to appropriate public or private health facilities and followed up to ensure continuity of care.
