SEXUAL REPRODUCTIVE HEALTH

BIOTISHO EISHOI™ (Reproductive Health)
Good sexual and reproductive health is a state of complete physical, mental, and social well-being in all reproductive systems. It implies that people can have a satisfying and safe sex life, the capability to reproduce, and the freedom to decide if, when, and how often to do so. Every individual has the right to make their own choices about their sexual and reproductive health.
Young people are also extremely vulnerable, often facing barriers to sexual and reproductive health information and care. We work to ensure sexual and reproductive health and rights remain at the very center of development within the Maasai Community

ERAMATATA OLMANYARA™ (‘ENVIRONMENT MANAGEMENT’)
