Formed in 2011 as a theatre for development/ edutainment group and later registered in 2015, My Age Zimbabwe Trust is a youth-led organization that champions youth leadership, participation, gender equality, and the health and rights of adolescents and young people. It harnesses evidence and unites diverse voices to spark a commitment to youth-related issues. Anchored in sexual and reproductive health, we advocate for the rights of young people across every aspect of their lives. The organization is committed to the promotion of young people’s access to Sexual and Reproductive Health and Rights (SRHR).  We subscribe to the notion that SRHR education, information, and services should be accessible to everyone in the human rights framework including adolescents and young sex workers, LGBTIQ+, and young people with disabilities. Vision: Youth in Zimbabwe enjoy their full Sexual and  Reproductive Health. Mission: A youth-led organization that champions Gender Equality, Sexual Reproductive Health Rights and the Well-being of young people in their diversities.

The Foundation for Research on Women’s Health, Productivity and the Environment (BAFROW) is a non-profit organization that complements the development efforts of the Government of The Gambia and other national partners through a holistic and integrated Social and Economic Empowerment Program geared towards improving the quality of life of the most vulnerable and marginalized people, especially women and girls, in targeted rural and urban communities. The overall goal of our program is to empower communities to take charge of their health and economic well-being, with emphasis on their sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR). BAFROW’s approach Our approach is holistic, multi-dimensional and multi-sectoral and based on the principle that sound health is closely linked with economic well-being, knowledge and skills, conducive physical and social environments, good personal and environmental hygiene, and the absence of all cultural practices that affect the health and well-being of women and girls, thereby bridging gaps and creating linkages between these issues.
