Results
Reached over 45,314 young people with NO YAWA services in 86 senior high school and 14 communities across the ten regions of Ghana through 175 interactive theatre performances.
Situation Problem
Young people lack access to appropriate information and services on their sexual and reproductive health and rights from service providers. They lack the self-assertiveness to access services. Young people are exposed to the risk of STIs, unsafe abortion, and teenage pregnancy.
Response Solution
Raised awareness of the NO YAWA brand and services among young people in selected Senior High Schools and communities across 10 regions of Ghana. The NO YAWA (Pidgin literally means: no worries) was a collaborative brand developed by DKT International Ghana, Marie Stopes International Ghana, and the Grameen Foundation aimed to provide youth-friendly sexual and reproductive health information and services to young people
