Description
Their focus has been providing accurate information through education primarily to the adolescent girl and at the secondary level and to the community including boys and men. They do this using innovative games, lively charts, models and materials and focus on mentorship, instilling confidence in the younger ones to be bold, especially during their season of physical and emotional changes.
