The Ugandan creative scene continues to thrive with and we love to see it. Kyaddala, a locally-made edutainment TV show becoming the second creative enterprise to make it to the streaming platform, Netflix; making it the second since Loukman Ali’s “The Girl In The Yellow Jumper”.

Loosely translated to ‘It is real’, Kyaddala is a brainchild of Reach a Hand Uganda and its idea was conceived as a way of leveraging the power of film to shed light on the real-life sexual reproductive challenges affecting Ugandan youth.
