Project Report | Jul 20, 2015
Get musical!

Our teen peer education program has been running for almost a year now!

48% of our participants are girls between the ages of 14 and 18.

18% are girls under the age of 14 and 22% are boys between 14 and 18.

30% of both girls and boys are not currently in school.

These statistics show that we are hitting our target population for teen peer education about reproductive health!

An exciting opportunity has come our way: renowned Malian drummer, Sidy Maiga, has expressed interest in partnering with GAIA to develop teen health education program that combines music and song. By teaching music as well as health, Sidy Maiga will help teens gain a voice and learn how to help educate each other. 

Please consider supporting this exciting new initiative! This could be the nest big step for our teen peer education program!
