Where We Work
Sexual & Reproductive Health
The Sexual and Reproductive Health program aims to empower adolescent girls and married women in urban slums with the right information and skills that enable them to make informed decisions about their health and in particular their sexual and reproductive health and their family size.
The Adolescents Gaining Ground project works to orient adolescents to become self – confident, well – informed and responsible decision makers of their general health especially their sexual and reproductive health and to create advocates in the community.
The Family planning Program works with married women to help reduce unplanned pregnancies and also works to increase the uptake of modern methods of contraception. This is done through peer educators in the community.
