Zambia has a very young population with nearly half the population under 15. As a traditional, patriarchal society, the sexual health of young people, especially girls, is often seen as a taboo subject, which can lead to negative health outcomes for young people. Whilst sexuality education is available in theory in Zambian schools, it is still largely lacking in practice with adolescent-friendly health services and referrals between schools and health facilities lacking.
This project will use the power and popularity of football to reach 1,600 young people in Lusaka and Central Province, Zambia with the SRHR knowledge, services, and skills to take control of their sexual health.
The Swedish Postcode Foundation supports this project with SEK 2 055 000.
Vad händer i projektet?
Utbildning av ungdomsledare inom SRHR genom fotboll, framtagning av manualer och inkorporering av TAs evidensbaserade manual till samarbetspartner, Restless Developments, verksamhet.
Varför fick projektet stöd?
Direkta kunskapshöjande insatser om och tillgång till SRHR minskar klyftorna mellan könen och bidrar till ökad jämställdhet, ökad sexuell hälsa och positiv samhällsutveckling.
