Empowering Students through Sexual Reproductive Health Education

Sexual reproductive health is a fundamental aspect of overall well-being, encompassing physical, emotional, and social dimensions of human life. It involves the ability to make informed choices regarding one’s sexual activity, access to healthcare and contraception, and the promotion of healthy relationships, ensuring individuals can lead fulfilling and satisfying lives. Understanding and advocating for sexual reproductive health is essential for achieving gender equality, personal autonomy, and overall societal progress.

 youth empowerment

At Ngong Road Children’s Foundation, we recently organized a three-day training program for sexual reproductive health aimed at our high school students in forms one, two, and three. Over 70 students attended this program with the primary goal of addressing the rising trends of pregnancies and STI infections, while also providing knowledge on how to navigate crucial life situations.

The training sessions were held within the ELIMU HUB library, creating a safe and conducive environment for open discussions. The students were receptive and enthusiastic about the program. One form three student shared, “SRH has been impactful, and I have learned the importance of abstaining from sexual intercourse. I will surely spread the word to my friends.”

The program was conducted by our Youth Peer Providers (YPP), who covered essential topics such as adolescence, contraceptives, relationships, STIs, and safe sex. Additionally, the students engaged in various icebreakers and demonstrations, making the learning experience interactive and enjoyable.

In today’s rapidly changing world, knowledge and awareness of sexual reproductive health are indispensable. Programs like this not only equip our youth with essential life skills but also contribute to building a healthier and more informed society. We take a significant step towards a more equitable and progressive future by empowering the younger generation to make informed choices and promoting healthy relationships.

A Brighter Future with Ngong Road Children’s Foundation

My name is Britney, and I had the privilege of joining Ngong Road Children’s Foundation this year. Currently, I’m a student at Jagiet Primary which is one of the program’s focus schools, and I’m in the fifth grade. I find joy in the little things in life, like singing, drawing, and dancing, which fill my days with vibrancy and passion and this is why I joined the dance club. This year has been my best year yet, all thanks to the NRCF program. I am getting quality education, making new friends, and learning new things both academically and socially.

BRITNEY A BRIGHT AND HARD WORKING GIRL

I aspire to become a teacher and share my love and compassion with others. Being a friendly person at heart, I believe teaching is the perfect path for me. In addition to teaching, I yearn to pursue professional dancing as a means of self-expression and physical exercise. But my dreams don’t stop there; I aim to build a beautiful home for my parents and offer them support for their financial needs. Through my hard work, I hope to make these dreams a reality and create a brighter future for my family and myself.

My favorite program at NRCF is the Saturday program. On Saturdays, I get to meet all my friends and we sit down to share the Saturday program meal as we tell stories of how our week has been. This is also the day when I get to dance with my fellow dance group members and now Saturday has become my favorite day of the week. I also love the Elimu Hub, which is a resource center. I especially love the Computer lab where I use the computers for learning and practicing basic computer skills like typing and I also write to my sponsor at the computer lab. I also like to visit the Library when I want to read a storybook or when I need to get learning materials.

I am grateful to the NRCF program for giving me the opportunity to join the program. I am now getting quality education without any interruption and my dreams are now looking more hopeful and achievable.

Transform a life.
