The trainings are mostly focused on young people who are between 12 and 24 years old. This includes secondary school students, street children, unemployed youths, child and young laborers. On the other hand, we also provide trainings for parents, teachers and social workers.
We want to increase the access to reproductive health trainings for young people. Through the trainings we aim to improve the knowledge and skills among youths on reproductive health, prevention of unwanted pregnancies and STD/HIV/AIDS infection and accessibility to RH services. We also promote the role of gender in reproductive health awareness. Finally, we are trying to increase the concentration of government institutions and community people on young people's health.

We are promoting the role of gender in reproductive health awareness. Therefore, we offer workshops for young people. These workshops - named "Gender and Reproductive Health" - have the aim of motivating young people who are between 18 and 24 years old to have a more active participation in reproductive health prevention. The participants are encouraged to share experiences and find out solutions for their lives in the future. The workshops invite people who have experiences and knowledge on reproductive health and gender as resource persons such as people from the Department of Health, Department of Education Youth and Sport, Health Care centers and NGOs which work related to the reproductive health topics.
