A musical album and movie that sensitise the public about sexual reproductive health and HIV/AIDS, have been launched.
Speaking at the function at the National Theatre recently, Kearne Donal, the country representative of PLAN International, asked the Government to make youth empowerment a priority.
He said the future of any country lies in its youth, which is why their holistic development must be given due attention.
The album, Omulanga Gwaffe, which translates into “Our Cry†has seven tracks in Luganda and English.
Members of the Silent Musical Group, a community ensemble of youth from Kawempe division, composed and sang the songs. The songs were wrapped in contemporary dance-hall vibes like reggae/ragga, Hip Hop, R&B and Afro-beat, which are very appealing to the youth.
The title-track Omulanga Gwaffe, is a musical appeal to the Government and policy-makers to help the youth address their problems.
Other tracks are Abantu b’eUganda, Abortion Ssi Solution, Kiki Ky’onoonya and Family Planning.
The movie, Pivot Time, which features students of Kawanda Secondary School, is a production of Kalule Youth Group, also based in Kawempe.
