Promoting Civic responsibility among young people Youth Empowerment &Rehabilitation Projects (YERP) Uganda recently joined Students for Global Democracy (SGD) in extension    of a project on responsible citizenship and civic culture to instill a sense of civic responsibility in Ugandan youth by engaging youth in community service activities and showing youth the real-life consequences of violence and the benefits of constructive civic engagement to    Mbarara municipality and the surrounding areas in Western Uganda . Uganda has witnessed a rise in youth-led violence and destructive youth political engagement in the past two decades. Politicians manipulate youth to advance their campaigns and intimidate opponents.    In addition, university students resort to violent strikes to contest high tuition fees and professor absenteeism, and slum youth use violence to decry unemployment and poor living conditions. Most interventions to improve Ugandan yo...

  I just want you to all know, YOU ARE ALL AWESOME! Although, We don't know each other "personally"... WE are ALL connected as ONE, through JESUS CHRIST! I want you all to know, I have struggles of my own, but when YOU know your "struggles" you're a step AHEAD of the enemy. See, a alcoholic, can't be hanging out at the bar, clubs and partying every night. Because, they'd be surrounded by temptation and it would easy to fall. If you're struggling with homosexuality, which if you are, I don't hate you, I don't look at you any different, because GOD said,"HATE the SIN, NOT the sinner." I want YOU to know, whoever You are, GOD loves you and see you struggling, He's calling you and tugging on your heart. Call on His NAME, JESUS.. whisper HIS NAME, JESUS....    JESUS.. and My brother, my sister, HE will ANSWER YOU. No MATTER what YOUR struggle is.. it's a struggle, but it's from the enemy, because HE KNO...

You may be hurting right now, You feel lost right now, You me feeling like suicide is the only answer to your problems, You may feel like nobody loves you, You may feel like drugs or alcohol is the only answer for you, You may feel like the only LOVE you can get is through sex, You may feel like You're nobody, You may feel like you'll never make it, You may feel like there's no hope, You may be fighting a sickness, You may have just been diagnosed with Cancer, You may have just lost a friend, a child, a sibling or loved one, You may feel like you'll never get it right. If this doesn't fit you, maybe you feel like you're not pretty enough, good looking enough, skinny enough, smart enough, or better yet, you're looking at where you're living and know nobody in your family or neighborhood went to school and feel like you'll never go to college, or make something of yourself.  I don't know what you're struggling with or what LIES the enemy is fe...

Youth Empowerment & Rehabilitation Projects Uganda || We Are The Oasis of Hope!

 My drug story, need advices... Hi all, this is my first post. I'm a drug user since I was 15, started smoking, drinking (never had drinking problem), then I started with weed. I found a whole world to discover on those things called "drugs", a world that amazed me. I studied chemistry, biology.. I feel like I'm smart but what kind of smart ends like this? Now I'm 23. I tried all the drugs I could find, synthesise some of them, and tried all the routes of administration, for mostly all of the drugs I've tried. After knowing weed, I started to look for information about drugs, I've always started trying them by my own, no one ever offered me something I had not tried before. I started "studying" stimulants, amphetamine, mdma, cocaine.. so far no problem, monthly or weekend use, everything was fine, no addiction, everything under control, job, family, school.. Then Psychdelics, mushrooms, LSD, 2c-x. Still no problems at all, weekend user of ...

There is a much need for sign posting in our communities and sensitisation on sexual and Reproductive health services and issues for all gender about health education and promoting programs to counter myths and misinformation, for self -esteem and confidence. Building innitiatives, and for vocational training to foster economic independence. We need the support and will that YERP- UGANDA calls for to make a change which is desirable. I am sure it is achievable, as long as we make the world aware of what the youth are forced to endure in our communities in Uganda, the more quickly change will be realised. Let's be part of this ! send us an inspiring message for the youth we shall publish on our site and our social network pages , as we embark on our campaign  YOUTH SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH CHAMPAIGN write to us at info@yerpuganda.org g

Our desire is to provide a loving and safe environment for them to grow ever stronger in their super-natural walk with Jesus.   Encouraging them to support each other as they discover their calling.

General Information YOUTH EDUCTIONAL REVIVAL PROGRAME (YERP) Youth Educational Revival Project (YERP) is found in Nyabikungu Parish, Rugando Sub-County, Rwampara County, Mbarara District .This Program was started as a result of greater need to help and support the youth who have totally failed to support themselves in Education. There has been an alarming increasing number of School  dropouts year by year in Nyabikungu Parish in Particular, Rwampara and the surrounding communities in general. This was started with a motive of enabling the Youth to exhibit full use of human resources /skills and become agents of desirable change in the society rather than passive recipients in development.  TARGET GROUP For every academic year, statistics show that every 100 children who enroll in primary one under the Universal Primary Education Program, Only 39 of them manage to reach primary 5, of these, 19 are girls and 20 are boys. These pupils normally drop out of sch...
