Let's Help Them Together
Youth Advocates works with the government and communities to safeguard and promote the rights of children and young people. Over the years we have demonstrated experience with holistic programming for children, young people and women; integrating SRHR/HIV/GBV with livelihoods, climate action and social protection. Our approach is simple. We implement evidence-based programs that focus on impoverished areas in the community.
We pioneer innovative grassroots programs that shift the focus from immediate behavioural factors to the structural drivers that directly and indirectly increase young people’s exposures to boot SRHR outcomes, HIV, poverty, gender inequality, sexual violence, public policies and lack of education.
