SRHR Featured

Introduction

Maternal health is a critical component of overall public health and a cornerstone of human development. Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR) encompass a broad range of services, information, and rights that are essential for the well-being of individuals and communities.

In West Pokot, access to these vital services remains a challenge for many young people and women. VYBE Africa is committed to bridging this gap through innovative, youth-led solutions that prioritize dignity, privacy, and accurate information.

The Challenge: Barriers to Access

  • High Impact: High rates of teenage pregnancy, early marriage, and FGM.
  • Limited Services: Limited youth-friendly services and trained health personnel.
  • Cultural Taboos: Stigma around sexuality and reproductive health discussions.
  • Infrastructure: Inadequate infrastructure and long distances to health facilities.

Why VYBE Focuses on SRHR

Youth are disproportionately affected by poor SRHR outcomes. Inclusive governance must include health rights and bodily autonomy. Empowering young people leads to healthier communities. SRHR is a gateway to gender equality and social justice.
