Capacity Building in Action at Luangwa AYFS—Wednesday meetings 📌

At Luangwa Adolescent Youth Friendly Space (AYFS), we deeply believe in the power of capacity building and equipping young people with accurate information, critical thinking skills, and the confidence to make informed and healthier decisions.

Today, we reached 24 young people, comprising 15 males and 9 females, through an insightful and thought-provoking dialogue on behaviour change. We emphasized that having information alone is not always enough; what matters is how we translate knowledge into positive action.

We openly explored the question: Why are teenage pregnancies still occurring? The discussion created a safe environment where everyone could freely share their perspectives and experiences. Among the contributing factors discussed were limited access to comprehensive sexuality education, peer pressure, media influence, myths and misconceptions, and other social and environmental factors.

We also discussed the importance of accurate and reliable information, particularly in addressing myths and misconceptions surrounding adolescent health and SRHR. The session reminded us that meaningful behaviour change requires more than simply providing information—it requires understanding the realities young people face and creating supportive environments where they can make informed decisions.

As Luangwa AYFS, we remain committed to promoting positive behaviour change, creating safe and inclusive spaces, strengthening young people’s capacity, and making a positive impact in our community.

ADOLESCENT HEALTH IS OUR PRIORITY

Today, Luangwa Adolescent Youth Friendly Space successfully conducted a school outreach activity at Twatemwa Combined School, reaching a total of

101 adolescents — 34 males and 67 females.

The outreach focused on three key issues affecting young people in our community: HIV prevention, drug and substance abuse, and teenage pregnancy.

Our objective was to raise awareness and equip pupils with accurate health information to help them make informed decisions about their health and future.

The activity also provided an opportunity to recruit new members into our Adolescent Youth Friendly Space, strengthening our commitment to creating safe, inclusive spaces where young people can access information, support and guidance.

We believe that empowering adolescents with accurate information is an important step towards building healthier and more informed communities.

101 adolescents reached. 101 opportunities to create change. 🌍
