Prossy turns lived experience into sage advice on sexual and reproductive health and rights.
About This Video
At just 22, Prossy Mirembe has become a symbol of resilience and purpose in the heart of Kamuli District, eastern Uganda
Born with HIV and raised in the shadows of stigma, today she stands in front of classrooms and community groups, not as a victim, but as a peer educator guiding other young people to live healthily and positively. Since joining the Youth and Adolescent Peer Support (YAPS) programme in 2019, Prossy’s life has taken a turn, one that is lifting others along with her. For Prossy, it started with a week-long training in Kamuli and a clinical placement at Nankandulo Health Centre IV, where she continues to support the clinic as a peer mentor. YAPS is a UNICEF and Ministry of Health initiative funded by the joint UN Regional Programme 2gether 4 SRHR in partnership with Sweden.
