Provide Tech Health Solutions for Nigerian Youth
Story
The mobile health service is a unique project that utilizes mobile phone and social media to engage young people and has answered over One Million questions on issues that affect their SRH . It provides a mechanism for young people to ask questions around sexual health and HIV/AIDS, by text messages,telephone hotline, Facebook or through email/web based interface, and receive unbiased and accurate information, which enables them to make informed decisions about their sexual reproductive health.
Impact
By adequately informing and educating young people about their sexual and reproductive health in an easily accessible, yet culturally appropriate way, the project will enhance the overall health outcomes of this important population.
Challenge
Nearly one-third of Nigeria's 160 million people are between the ages of 10-24.Young people bear a large burden of sexual reproductive health (SRH) complications such teenage pregnancy, STIs, HIV/AIDS amongst others. The majority of adolescents in Nigeria, 56% male and 36% female have had sex with at least 2 partners before age 17. Due to cultural views discussion of SRH issues is frowned upon, making it difficult for adolescent and young people to obtain reliable and non-judgemental information
