Jackline Nabwire is a mother to four children in Namayingo District, Uganda. At just 24 years old, she used to wake up every morning with more questions than answers. Married at the young age of 17, she spent her adolescence juggling the burdens of a growing family, often struggling to put food on the table. Her maize and cassava harvests were barely enough to eat never mind sell. But today, a quiet revolution is taking root – right in her front yard. “I used to think life would never change,” Jackline recalls. “Then one day, I went for my antenatal visit at Bumooli Health Centre and found people talking about kitchen gardens. Everything started to change.” 2gether 4 SRHR is a joint UN Regional Programme, in partnership with Sweden, which brings together the combined efforts of UNAIDS, UNFPA, UNICEF and WHO to improve the sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) of all people in Eastern and Southern Africa.
