Our Projects
1. Sexual Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR)

This approach goes beyond service provision to include health education, advocacy for policy change, and the capacity building of health facilities to provide youth-friendly services.

Violence Prevention and Response, addresses the high rates of gender-based violence and exploitation faced by our beneficiaries. Through trained paralegals, community education, and partnerships with law enforcement and legal service providers, we work to prevent repeated exposure to situation of risk while ensuring survivors receive appropriate psychosocial support and justice.
3. Economic Empowerment and Skills Development
Our programming includes practical skills training, entrepreneurship development, and the creation of income-generating opportunities that provide alternatives to exploitative situations.
