Creating safe spaces to shatter stigmas and save lives.
A community cannot thrive if its young people are suffering in silence. In areas where critical health topics are taboo, breaking the silence is the first essential step toward saving lives.
The Challenge
Young people were navigating adolescence completely isolated. Deep-seated cultural stigmas surrounding mental health and Sexual and Reproductive Health Rights (SRHR) prevented vulnerable youth from seeking help, leading to high anxiety and uninformed life choices.
The Turning Point
SEP intervened by creating judgment-free, youth-led safe spaces. Integrating health education directly into community activities made these vital conversations engaging, culturally resonant, and highly accessible.
"Growing up, it was hard to talk about mental health without feeling ashamed. For the first time, I felt truly supported and in control of my own health and my future."
— Mercy AkinyiPeer Health Educator
The Transformation
Our targeted health programs have now reached over 300 youth. By actively fostering mental health awareness and providing comprehensive reproductive health education, we have replaced fear with knowledge. Youth are now equipped to make highly protective decisions regarding their bodies and are successfully linked to professional medical care when needed.
Key Results
- Became a certified peer health advocate.
- Facilitated SRHR dialogues for 50 local peers.
- Successfully navigated critical healthcare referral systems.
