They are also encouraged to take adequate nutrition to support their health and general wellbeing.
  • Sexual and Reproductive Health: Adolescents are provided with comprehensive sexual education, which empowers them to know their right and encourage them to delay early marriage as well as to refuse unwanted sexual advances. They are also educated on the prevention and management of sexually transmitted infections, including HIV.
