Thank you once again for all of your support!
With your help, we’ve continued our important work of teaching young people comprehensive sexuality education.
Our team recently taught over 1,000 youth in the Palawan municipality of Taytay, and they came home with inspiring stories of the students’ commitment to getting their education. Many of the young people walk up to 4 hours per day just to get to and from school. We’re so glad to be a part of their education, and to help them protect their health.
In the last 9 months, we’ve taught over 19,000 young people about their bodies and their health. We’ve also discussed relationships and consent. We’ve trained over 100 Youth Advocates who together have referred over 700 young people for HIV testing and over 250 to our clinic for contraceptive counselling.
We’re changing lives and empowering girls to protect their health, stay in school, and have more secure futures. Thank you for being a partner in this journey!
