RAKAI. Dr Michelle Alder, the Centre for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) health service chief, has appreciated Kitovu Mobile’s excellent implementation of the DREAMS Project.

DREAMS stands for: Determined, Resilient, Empowered, Aids-free, Mentored Safe Women.

It is an ambitious public-private partnership to reduce rates of HIV among adolescent girls and young women (AGYWs) in the highest HIV burden countries in sub-Saharan Africa like Uganda.

The project conforms to Kitovu Mobile’s Youth Empowerment Programme, a reason why Kitovu Mobile is among the implementing partners of this noble HIV prevention programme.
