In four sub-counties of Nairobi County, this project aims to increase access to accurate SRHR information for youth aged 10 to 24 through sexuality education activities led by school health nurses and youth volunteers. The goal is to empower young people to take preventive action against unintended pregnancies and sexually transmitted infections. (Schools follow the government curriculum, while comprehensive sexuality education (CSE) targets out-of-school youth.)
