The target population we aim to directly and meaningfully improve the lives of consists primarily of young people, particularly adolescents and young adults, between the ages of 10 and 24. This demographic group faces unique challenges related to sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and is often underserved in various ways:
Lack of Comprehensive Education: Many young people lack access to comprehensive, age-appropriate sex education that covers topics such as contraception, safe sex, consent, and healthy relationships. This knowledge gap can lead to misinformation, unintended pregnancies, and the spread of sexually transmitted infections (STIs).
Stigmatization and Discrimination: Young people, especially those from marginalized communities, often face stigma and discrimination when seeking SRHR information and services. This can deter them from seeking help and support.
Limited Access to Services: Accessibility issues, including geographical distance, cost, and legal restrictions, can prevent young people from accessing crucial SRHR services such as contraceptives, reproductive healthcare, and confidential counseling.
Digital Divide: In today's digital world, not all young people have equal access to the internet and digital resources. This can create disparities in their ability to access online SRHR information and telehealth services.
To address these needs and improve the lives of young people, our solution focuses on several key aspects:
