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

Youth Center group

23,957 Youth Center visits since 2019

We have a Youth Center at Chogoria open every day of the week. A Youth Center Coordinator shares career resources and job opportunities. 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.

Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH)

Teaching sexual and reproductive health

133,176 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 given and information pamphlets and educational resources on SRH available. 

HopeCore has trained 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 educate them on SRH information to support youth.

Motorbike Project

10 Empowered Youth

Recognizing that youth only accounted for 11% of the Micro Enterprise clients, HopeCore initiated a project explicitly designed to meet youth’s economic needs. 

In 2020, HopeCore trained ten youth and gave them each a motorbike to start their taxi businesses.
