Youth
In addition to the youth-friendly health services and livelihood support HopeCore offered to youth, we offer additional youth services in the community. To reach these out-of-school youth, we have tailored our youth program to provide youth-friendly services.
Youth Center
18,580 Youth Center Visits since 2019
We have a youth center at Chogoria open every day of the week. To attract youth at the center, we have free internet access, television entertainment, and games, and it is a safe place for youth to spend their time. Additionally, it allows youth to meet and interact if they are not in school. Also, a Youth Center Coordinator shares career resources and job opportunities with the youth.
Sexual and Reproductive Health
58,541 youth educated on sexual and reproductive health topics since 2018
Contraceptives are offered through both our youth center and our clinic. Regular sexual and reproductive health education is done in the youth center, and there are information pamphlets and educational resources on SRH available in the youth center.
HopeCore has done training with local health facilities to help increase the number of facilities offering youth-friendly services. Additionally, HopeCore has convened church leaders and teachers’ meetings to sensitize them on SRH information to support youth.
