Watch how ZanaAfrica's work has shown that social and behavior change solutions co-created with communities can promote positive gender norms and reduce stigma to improve adolescent health.

Getrude is a 15-year old girl from Kilifi, Kenya.

“When Nia Health Club came into our school, they introduced themselves well- this touched my heart and I loved it immediately!”

Elizabeth Sidi is our Program Operations Coordinator in Kilifi, Kenya.

“Here in Kilifi, a lot of girls of girls do not have access to pads or even underpants. And what ZanaAfrica gives to them is really a gift that they appreciate. It also helps them to manage their menses with pride and dignity.”

Alice Kombo is one of our mentors in the Nia program, delivered though ZanaAfrica to support adolescent girls and boys.

“I chose to be a mentor because I have grown up in the same community. So I’ve had the opportunity to see what adolescents are going through. I had the opportunity to learn the problems that adolescents, both girls and boys, get.”
