Lubuto was awarded a grant from Templeton World Charity Foundation in 2020 focused on character development and adolescent health. The grant focuses on evaluating the impact of traditional storytelling on improving sexual and reproductive health (SRH) education outcomes. The project combines LubutoMentoring—an arts-based character development program that uses traditional storytelling and drama to teach honesty, responsibility, self-empowerment, courage, perseverance, self-confidence, self-discipline, purpose, friendship, giving, integrity, and creativity—with the widely-used, evidence-based Stepping Stones SRH curriculum, to create a revised curriculum that leverages character strengths as key components in promoting positive SRH outcomes for adolescents. 640 youth are targeted to participate in the study, which will be supported by our academic partners from American University: Professor Anthony Ahrens, Chair of the AU Psychology Department, and Millicent Curlee, Ph.D. candidate in clinical psychology.
