WELCOME TO NAGURU TEENAGE INFORMATION AND HEALTH CENTRE

 We are the pioneer program in providing youth friendly sexual and reproductive health services in Uganda.   

NTIHC realises that attitudes to sexuality are formed early during adolescence when many young people are faced with conflicting and confusing messages about sexuality and gender. This is often made even worse by embarrassment, silence, and disapproval of open discussion of sexual matters by adults at the very time when it is most needed. Few young people receive adequate preparation for their sexual lives leaving them potentially vulnerable to coercion, abuse, unintended pregnancy and STIs, including HIV. Therefore, apart from providing youth friendly services, NTIHC wants to create a safe space where young people can be empowered and receive quality SRH related information, guidance and services. Please take time to learn about us. If you have any further questions about our work or are interested in partnering with us, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

The use of posters in communicating health messages has increased dramatically. Since a poster consists of pictures or symbols and words, it communicates health messages both to literate and illiterate people. It has high value to communicate messages to illiterate people because it can serve as a visual aid.

The main purposes of posters are to reinforce or remind people of a message received through other channels, and to give information and advice — for example to advise people to learn more about malaria. They also function to give directions and instructions for actions, such as a poster about practical malaria prevention methods. Posters can also serve to announce important events and programS

Visual aids like posters explain, enhance, and emphasize key points of your health messages. They allow the audience to see your ideas in pictures and words. Box 10.3 gives some tips on preparing posters.
