KTCC Global Health Initiative – A Multidisciplinary Program for Youth
Kids That Care Club (KTCC) introduces an exciting new hands-on program for high school youth that want to be involved in meaningful advocacy in advancing health equity and accessible healthcare education for all.
KTCC’s Global Health Initiative opens the door of opportunity to learn about global health in an engaging and meaningful way. We call upon students that embrace multiple disciplines from the arts, science and research to the field of engineering technology, to utilize their talents to develop research backed healthcare lessons that will be implemented in rural poor villages in Uganda.
Our platform goes beyond the traditional single-discipline approach by encouraging different perspectives and ideas from various fields to develop our healthcare educational materials. Students will have the rare opportunity to interact directly with our Rose Uganda Team as they help guide the creation of a lesson plan designed to improve health outcomes. This approach fosters a more comprehensive and holistic understanding of the complex problems that exist in rural poor communities where we work.
Kids That Care Club Global Health Initiative is the program that will help youth discover the wealth of career opportunities that exist in the fields of digital arts, public health and software development while working together to develop a healthcare program that will save lives.

Making Learning Easier for the Low Literate Learner. KTCC’s Global Health Initiative is built upon the solid principles of public health where research and investigation of evidence based health programs form the foundation of the healthcare lesson. Each lesson is carefully researched, developed into a set of modules that are illustrated with culturally appropriate graphics, presented with limited text and developed into an offline internet Android application.
Health literacy is not fully understood, yet has major implications on behavior change and reducing preventable deaths among the rural poor. “By improving people’s access to understandable and trustworthy health information and their capacity to use it effectively, health literacy is critical to both empowering people to make decisions about personal health, and in enabling their engagement in collective health promotion action to address the determinants of health.”[1]
