In 176 villages, the programme has created youth groups and resource centres where adolescents can learn about sexual and reproductive health, receive services and enrol in training for future livelihoods. The programme also trains local health providers in youth-friendly care, organizes volunteers to distribute modern methods of family planning, deploys peer educators, organizes counselling sessions, and provides a forum for young people and adults to come together to talk about youth’s role in society. My girlfriend panicked, which I fully understand. But I actually think we managed the situation well.
