teenagers will benefit from our project
Provide the young people the means to improve their knowledge
In the countries where we operate, young people often have confusing and contradictory information about romantic relationships and sexuality. We provide them with the means to improve their knowledge, so they can take informed decisions. At school or out of it, teachers, health care providers, peer educators and community health workers organise education sessions where they provide reliable information to teenagers, whether they go to school or not.
These sessions are adapted according to the age and they broach subjects such as romantic relationships; culture and taboos; violence and security; consent; human body and development; sexuality.
Prevent early pregnancy and disease transmission.
We produce teaching material adapted to teenagers and train activity leaders and teachers so they can organise participative activities with young people, in order to prevent early pregnancies.
