Maturity and Good Health for Adolescents
after realising the immoral and unsafe sexual reproductive acts between adolescents and teenagers we took this project To try and bridge the gap between boys and girls on sexual reproductive health and heathy lifestyle. so the they can practice safe and healthy lifestyle also where by they can appreciate each others changes to understand and give a helping hand.
This project was undertaken by a team of trained ToTs with different but matching knowledge on health and guidance field and it was implemented around different villages in Botswana with most of them being in the remote areas. The project targeted adolescents and teenagers but also involving all those whom takes part in children's growth, so it was implemented within schools, refugee camp, social institutions and also everyone within the community.
With the testimonies and feedback, it show that the project was impactful and the participants are now knowledgeable on the menstrual hygiene, the use of sanitary pads and other changes happening in growth to mention the few. also reaching the marginalised areas made the project valuable as it shows to some it was for the first time to get the information on the project topics.
I v learnt that following the scout methods learning by doing its still the best as to it becomes practical and more informative to participants. Though it was difficult to work during covid times, being patient and staying focus took the project to its success. Going forward we will increase more of the partners to cover almost many fields to limit risks and obstacles.
