📸 Scenes from Mzuzu | Youth Leaders in Action!

Extra Mile Development Foundation proudly participated in the GHC SRHR Coalition Training of Youth Leaders on SRHR Leadership and Strategy held in Mzuzu by Global Health Crabs in partnership with Rise Together. The training brought together passionate youth advocates from across the region to strengthen their understanding of sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) and to develop actionable strategies for community change.

Key issues discussed during the training included; An overview of sexual and reproductive health services (SRHS), Understanding and prevention of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and HIV/AIDS, Access to and correct use of modern contraceptive methods, and finally ways of Addressing and responding to intimate partner violence (IPV) among youth

The training sessions were not only informative but also deeply inspiring, reinforcing the urgent need for youth-led advocacy in ensuring that SRHR services are accessible, inclusive, and youth-friendly.

This training aligns well with Extra Mile's mission to empower young people as change agents, equipping them with the knowledge and leadership skills needed to influence attitudes, policies, and practices around SRHR in Malawi.
