What we do

The overall purpose of the RESPEKT pilot project is to rethink and ensure quality education on SRHR amongst teenagers in Kenya. By facilitating a series of workshops at targeted secondary schools in five different Kenyan counties, the project applies a rights-based approach to combat the harmful cultural practices, genderbased violence, and lack of relevant and accurate information on SRHR amongst the targeted youth in Kenya.

“Through peer to peer education, our volunteers facilitate workshops that are responsive to the needs of the teenagers. These workshops are informed by our curriculum which encompasses tools, games and information that make it easy to learn more on Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights’’

We have improved capacity building by equipping individuals and organizations with the skills and support needed to effectively implement SRHR programs. These efforts collectively contribute to a more informed and empowered youth, a supportive network of stakeholders, and a strengthened framework for addressing SRHR challenges.
