  • Economic Access for the Prostitutes: 25 Sex Workers living with HIV/AIDS were supported to access soft loans from the micro - credit providers in Uganda through a referral system, later arrangements were made, support was provided for them to access markets. This was done to fight poverty among the Sex Workers
  • Health: 72 Sex Workers are being supported in association with the Uganda Family Planning Association of Uganda (FPAU), Uganda Aids Commission (UAC), Aids Information Center - Jinja (AIC) and The Aids Support Organization (TASO), to access quality health services in Voluntary Counseling & Testing (VCT), Family Planning Services, Anti - Aids Drugs (ARVs & ARTs) and specialized medical attention. This has been done in partnership with the organizations aforementioned and a network of referrals.
  • Lobbying & Advocacy: In Nov/2005 OGLM called a grand workshop in Jinja, for the celebrated schools of thought, human rights activists, members of parliament and the press, to present papers and their views on why the Ugandan Health Policy doesn't consider the Sex Workers. Views were collected and press statement was issued, currently, we are collecting endorsements and signatures, in April/2006 it will be published and a follow - up will be made so that a motion can be moved on the aforementioned in the house/parliaments of Uganda. This will call on the Government to Support the Sex Workers living with HIV/AIDS and access treatment
  • Others: Baseline surveys, Researches, Capacity Building and IEC Development for Advocacy & Health Rights
