Sexual Reproductive Health (SRH) Awareness

The Mansaray Foundation focused on sustainable solutions has spearheaded several sexual reproductive health awareness and teenage pregnancy prevention campaigns at communities served by our partner clinics in Masongbo, Panlap, and Binkolo. With the local leadership, religious leaders, teachers, a community health nurse, and a teenage mother we educated youth between the ages of 12-19 on the consequences of teenage pregnancy, maternal mortality, and the clinic resources available to them. Important to note that 3 out of 8 teenagers are mothers. To date, we have reached over 5000 students and piloting a teenage pregnancy reduction program in the Binkolo Catholic Secondary School. We look forward to many more concerted health promotion and awareness campaigns in efforts to reduce teenage pregnancy and maternal mortality in rural Sierra Leone.
