Health, Environment and Youth Empowerment
Mental Health:
We are dedicated to promoting mental well-being through comprehensive initiatives. Our focus encompasses providing valuable resources, fostering a supportive community through various support programs, and conducting awareness campaigns. We aim to break the stigma surrounding mental health and ensure that individuals have accessible pathways to mental health services. This will play a pivotal role in creating in a society where mental health is prioritized, stigma is dismantled, and everyone has the resources they need for optimal well-being.
Reproductive Health:
We are actively engaged in fostering reproductive health through our dedicated programs. Our initiatives concentrate on providing Comprehensive Reproductive Health education, advocating for contraception awareness, safe sex and ensuring widespread access to reproductive health services.
Menstrual Health and Hygiene Management
Our initiatives center around educating individuals, irrespective of gender, about menstrual health and hygiene practices. We aim to break the stigma surrounding menstruation and ensure access to affordable menstrual products for all. Our inclusive approach involves conversations with both boys and girls, emphasizing the importance of understanding and supporting menstrual well-being. As part of our program, we distribute sanitary towels, including both single-use and reusable options, to contribute to a more accessible and sustainable menstrual hygiene solution.
Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV)
We tackle Sexual and Gender-Based Violence (SGBV) through awareness creation, survivor support linkages, and advocacy for protective policies. Our initiatives include educating on femicide, promoting non-bystander culture, and engaging our audience as either direct or indirect survivors, linking them to appropriate support. We hope for a safer, violence-free community where empowerment and education leads the way to a world free from gender-based violence.
HIV/AIDS
Our commitment around HIV/AIDS is to prioritize education, prevention, and support linkages among the infected and affected within the community this helps to reduce stigma and enhance access to care. We also promote responsible sexual behavior, promote regular screenings, and build a supportive community for individuals affected by HIV/AIDS.
Land Pollution
Our interest in Land pollution is due to its pressing environmental issue that negatively impacts ecosystems, wildlife, and human health. Our efforts aim to Reduce Waste by Promoting practices that minimize waste generation, such as recycling, composting, and the reduction of single-use plastics. We also organise for Community Clean-Up Campaigns to remove litter and pollutants from public spaces and natural areas. We also seek to Educate the community about the causes and effects of land pollution and the importance of proper waste disposal.
Forestry
Here we get involved in planting trees in areas that have been deforested or degraded or did not have tress at all, this helps to restore ecosystems and biodiversity. Our initiatives include but not limited to: Tree Planting Drives, forest conservations and sustainable practises such as agroforestry.

Due to the fact that Climate change poses significant challenges, we aim to build resilience of our community to ensure we can better adapt to its impacts.
