Youth voices in action: showcasing creativity through digital media

Ten members of the Shadow Idol ICT Class, supported by St. Francis Health Care Services — a leading HIV/AIDS intervention organization based in Njeru near Jinja — joined their youth counterparts for a media exhibition at Nyenga Senior Secondary School on Sunday, 5th October 2025.

The exhibition provided a dynamic platform for young people to showcase their creativity, digital skills, and social impact through purposeful media projects. It highlighted how technology can inspire awareness, connection, and positive change within youth communities.

During the event, the ten participants presented Canva-designed posters addressing diverse issues such as climate change, doing and being good, HIV/AID, Teenage Pregnancy, drug abuse, and so forth. They were joined by their peers from Hope Community Secondary School, Budondo, and members of the Interact Club of the host school. Both teams also showcased short films produced under the ConnectHer Project, which empowers girls to amplify their voices and share their stories — with outstanding works receiving awards.

St. Francis Health Care Services continues to support vulnerable teenagers and young adults, helping them discover purpose, build skills, and become changemakers in their communities.
