Learn moreSafe Space Tuseme clubs: how it works in schools.
Launched in 2021, the Tuseme (“Speak Out”) program empowers young people to confidently address their SRHR needs, using dialogue and theatre to build confidence, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
Where it operates
Safe space clubs run in 7 schools across Rukomo and Rwempasha sectors (Nyagatare District), plus GS Rugarama (Gatsibo District) — 8 schools in total.
Increased SRHR knowledge and confidence
Students are more knowledgeable and confident discussing SRHR issues openly, reducing stigma and promoting healthy conversations.
Stronger safeguarding
Over 46 trained gatekeepers keep safe spaces secure, actively addressing safeguarding concerns and building trust within schools.
Re-entry & inclusive education
The program has facilitated re-entry for students who had dropped out, and emphasizes inclusive education regardless of background, challenge, or disability.
Community engagement and awareness.
The program involves parents and community members directly, increasing awareness and support for adolescents’ SRHR and safeguarding needs — through roadside billboards, the Umusare radio drama series, and community dialogues known as Inteko z’Abaturage.
Participating students show stronger social and academic engagement: teachers report improved focus, and students describe developing teamwork, leadership, and problem-solving skills.
