Programme Formative Study
Plan is an
international child-centred community development organization without
political, religious or governmental affiliations.
Plan’s
mission is to strive to achieve lasting improvements in the quality of life of
deprived children in developing countries, through a process that unites people
across cultures and adds meaning and value to their lives.
Plan International Kenya together with Ananda Marga Universal Relief Team (AMURT) are implementing a five-year project (2016 - 2020), Young Health Programme (YHP), in the urban informal settlement of Kibera, in Nairobi County, Kenya.
The project
aims to contribute to improved health and gender equality of girls and boys
between 10-24 years of age in Kibera, Nairobi.
The
programme is to contribute to improved health and gender equality of girls and
boys between 10-24 years of age in Kibera, Nairobi.
Specifically,
it aims to achieve this by ensuring that adolescent girls and boys in the urban
slum of Kibera, Nairobi are practising fewer risky behaviours due to an
increased capacity to make informed choices and to protect their health, now
and in the future.
Specifically, the YHP will focus on 5 risk behaviours which significantly increase the likelihood of developing NCDs later in life, which are
1) tobacco
use;
2) harmful
use of alcohol;
3) risky
sexual behaviours;
4)
physical inactivity; and
5)
unhealthy diets.
