EDUCATE FOR HEALTH INITIATIVE
Helping young people live healthy lives through outreach, education and community sensitisation.
ABOUT US
Our Mission is to help disadvantaged adolescents and young people living in resource-poor settings make good and informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health through outreach, education and community sensitisation.
Educate For Health Initiative is a youth-led initiative working towards improving adolescent and youth sexual and reproductive health by empowering them with the appropriate information, skills and support they need to address their specific health needs and make responsible choices. We are fully involved in youth outreach, providing educational services and consistent community sensitisation in a bid to improve health outcomes in adolescents and all young people.
“Young people are the key in the fight against AIDS. By giving them the support they need, we can empower them to protect themselves against the virus. By giving them honest and straight-forward information, we can break the circle of silence across all society. By creating effective campaigns for education and prevention, we can turn young people's enthusiasm, drive and dreams for the future into powerful tools for attacking the epidemic.”
Kofi Annan, Former UN Secretary General
