It was started by 14 young people who thought it wise to form a coalition to help tackle the issues that come with teenage pregnancy and early marriage in the rural community. They in their own very little way have created impact by bringing hope and smiles to the rural African child.   Ruth Aine Tindyebwa,  our online Editor caught up with one of the founders of this initiative and asked a few questions:  Q: What is the inspiration behind starting Amani Initiative? A: I was born...
