Millennium Fellowship Project: Sawazisha teens forum
We set out to empower high school aged girls between the ages of 16 and 24 against teenage pregnancies. The idea was to speak to them through group forums while at the same time providing sanitary pads and/or contraceptive methods to the most vulnerable ones. We were not able to deliver on the sanitary pads front but we did pass knowledge on methods of contraception.
