CREATING DEMAND FOR AYFHS

Demand creation for #AYFHS through community mobilization. Our #PEPFAR supported project facilitates community-based engagements by young people aimed at promoting access and uptake of SHRH & HIV services at health facilities. 
The trained peer educator facilitate these discussions with their peers in the community. These discussions are guided by data collected from the health center on various SRH & HIV related issues and forms the basis for such discussions. 
On the other hand, meetings are held with community leaders and parents to ensure they play their role effectively and ensure that young people are supported to access services from the facility. It is envisaged  that there will be a reduction in the spread of new HIV infections, Unplanned pregnancies, STI's etc.
