Sexual Health Education

Working with schools, we are supporting comprehensive sexuality education to inform girls
about their bodies, changes during puberty, how pregnancy occurs, how to prevent pregnancies
and linking them to health facilities to receive more information and health services.
According to WHO early pregnancy is the second cause of death among adolescent girls. It is
therefore important that they have all the information and contraceptives if they are sexually
active instead of having them become pregnant, try to secure an illegal abortion, suffer
permanent injuries, or be forced into a marriage. We work hand-in-hand with health providers to
ensure that when girls come to the health facility they can access care without judgment or
discrimination.
