This project aims to increase the enjoyment of health-related rights for the most vulnerable children, adolescent girls, and women in Cambodia, Kenya, the Philippines, and Uganda. Project activities include: (1) providing training on sexual and reproductive health and rights, water, sanitation and hygiene, climate resilience, and life skills to adolescent girls, young women, boys and young men; (2) providing training and support to health care staff, community health volunteers and other duty-bearers on women centered, safe, inclusive care and counselling; (3) training health care providers to provide comprehensive, gender-sensitive sexual and reproductive health (SRH) services; (4) providing training on nutrition for caregivers of children under the age of five years old, pregnant and lactating mothers and their partners through kitchen gardening; (5) equipping health centres to provide SRH care, from family planning consultations to supporting victims of sexual and gender-based violence in all four countries. The project expects to directly benefit over 120,000 girls, women, boys and men across all project countries. This project works in partnership with its Canadian partners Salanga and Sick Kids, and through its implementing partners ADRA Cambodia, Kenya, Philippines and Uganda.

The project is currently in its fourth year of implementation, with significant activities underway across various communities. Notably, we have achieved the following: 1) Community Training Programs: The project conducted comprehensive training sessions on sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR), water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH), climate resilience, and life skills, benefiting adolescent girls, young women, boys, and young men; 2) Support for Healthcare Staff and Volunteers: Training and support were provided to healthcare staff, community health volunteers, and other duty-bearers. The focus was on delivering women-centered, safe, inclusive care, and counseling; 3) Enhancement of SRHR Services: Health care providers received specialized training to offer comprehensive, gender-sensitive SRHR services; 4) Nutritional Training: The project facilitated training on nutrition for caregivers of children under five years old, as well as for pregnant and lactating mothers and their partners. This included practical training through kitchen gardening initiatives; 5) Equipping Health Centers: Health centers in all four project countries were equipped to provide a broad range of SRH care—from family planning consultations to support for survivors of sexual and gender-based violence.
