To promote the meaningful participation of young people, especially girls and young women, on realising their rights and abilities to make informed choices about health and lifestyle issues, including youth unemployment, financial literacy, sexual and reproductive health and rights, hygiene practices and good citizenship, as well as expand target audience knowledge of TB and TB/HIV co-infection and promote early detection.
Is to support a safe and creative environment where young people are part of the collective voice to develop positive life skills in response to critical health and lifestyle issues.
OVSA seeks to record the stories and voices of learners in their own words, as they engage on and develop solutions to the many critical health and lifestyle issues they face daily. Woven into the Life Skills, Enterprise and Developing Entrepreneurs projects, these visuals bring first-person narratives to light, as young people gain confidence in their ability to create awareness, promote change and plan for their futures, while also enriching the lives of all people, young and old.
Any donation you are able to make, makes a tremendous difference to our ability to continue supporting young people on addressing the many critical health and lifestyle hurdles they have to overcome on a daily basis. Your support ensures that we focus on implementing an ever better OVSA Schools Programme that supports young boys and girls as they prepare for life; for its responsibilities and possibilities, equipping them to solve problems, make informed decisions and take appropriate actions to live meaningful lives in an ever-changing society.
Working alongside some truly amazing partner organisations, who like us, believe that supporting young people on their health and development, is key to their and our futures. “By equipping young people with skills, knowledge and confidence in their abilities, there is a real chance that global leaders can harness the potential of young people to reach the SDGs over the next 14 years. Together we can work towards creating a generation of empowered youth and support long-term sustainable development” – Jeroo Billimoria, Founder, Child and Youth Finance International.
