When the Executive Director of a new Kampala-based charity contacted us back in October of last year, we were pleasantly surprised. Having seen our work with Survivors Fund, this new organization, called Action for Reproductive Health, was eager to get our help in creating the right look and feel for their corporate identity and website.
In learning about Action for Reproductive Health (ARH), we were impressed by its unique approach to addressing issues of reproductive and maternal health in rural Uganda: involve men. ARH is committed to positioning women’s health and in particular maternal health as a issue that affects all of society — not just women.
Since forming in late 2010, the new non-profit has been busy researching the immediate medical needs of rural Uganda, and assessing how best the organisation can address those needs.
ARH is an organisation to watch … and to support.
