On behalf of the whole team, the now highly appraised filmmaker Humphrey Nabimanya gave a well laid out speech that showed his gratitude to the huge fanbase and partners that supported the making of the TV show that will soon be showing on NBS TV.
“We’ve always used art to transmit SRHR information to young people, and we couldn’t have finished filming kyaddala season two without the help of our partners.”, Humphrey partly said.
Kyaddala TV series features top actors and actresses across Africa and depicts young people’s sexual and reproductive health issues through a rich storyline that rotates on topics like Life skills empowerment for young people (covering education, livelihoods and women empowerment for better choices), HIV and its impact on young people, Teenage pregnancy and the role of “gatekeepers/ stakeholders” in averting child marriages, Sexual and gender based violence among young people and how it affects their SRHR needs and Myths and misconceptions around SRHR and how to create an enabling friendly environment for young people to seek information and services.
The Ugandan creative scene has continued to thrive with Kyaddala, a locally-made edutainment TV show becoming the second creative enterprise to make it to the streaming platform, Netflix.
Kyaddala literally translated as ‘It is real’ is a brainchild of Reach a Hand Uganda to leverage the power of film to shed light on the real-life sexual reproductive challenges affecting Ugandan youth.
Humphrey Nabimanya, in picture above founder and team leader at Reach a Hand Uganda, who is also the show’s executive producer, also applauded the efforts of the partners for being relentless in their support from its birth to the production of a second season.
He applauded partners such as UNICEF, Reproductive Health Uganda and Uganda Waragi, for their belief in Uganda’s youth, art and innovations and for investing in creating stories that speak to this demographic.
Speaking during the event, Emmy Hashakimana, Uganda Breweries Limited’s Marketing and Innovations Director, said, “Uganda Waragi is the true spirit of Uganda, which celebrates all that makes us proud to be Ugandan and we are honoured to support Kyaddala for creating a powerful avenue through which Ugandans can tell Ugandan stories.”
He added that Uganda Waragi is a brand well-versed in innovation through its coconut and pineapple flavours, and is thus the perfect partner for a local innovation like Kyaddala.
Reach A Hand which is headed by Humphrey Nabimanya is a youth serving nonprofit organization based in Uganda that focuses on youth empowerment programs with an emphasis on, Sexual Reproductive Health Rights of young people between the ages of 12–24 years including HIV/AIDS awareness and prevention.
