Youth Talkie Magazine

Background
Youth Talkie is a magazine published by TIG Marketing Consult with a goal of participating in HIV/AIDS prevention, promotion of abstinence, behavioural change and good values amongst the youth. The magazine publishes real life experiences and gives a chance to the youth to share their challenges and successes for the benefit of others. The magazine also gives real life skills to the youth to help them in fighting HIV/AIDS, preventing STDs and unwanted pregnancy, abstaining from sex and avoiding situations that may compromise their fight against HIV/AIDS e.g. use of drugs, alcohol, bad company etc.
Our objectives
• To publish Youth Talkie Magazine with moral building, exciting, interesting, lifestyle and development-oriented information for the youths in a bid to empower them to fight HIV/AIDS and other social challenges like drugs, teenage pregnancy, alcohol, pornography among others.
• To distribute Youth Talkie magazines to secondary schools and primary schools every two months.
Our target
Our main target is the youth in and out of school 10-25 years of age. We encourage the youth to write articles and share their experiences. We plan to distribute at least ten copies of every issue of the magazine to each of the over 1300 secondary schools in Uganda. These will be put in the school libraries for every student to read. Since the magazine comes out every two months, we hope the exposure time is adequate enough to allow most students read through. Funds allowing, we intend to distribute Youth Talkie to Primary Schools.
