The Adolescent Reproductive Health education Course is one of the programmes designed by AHI to promote the sexual health of in-school adolescents. This course addresses issues of adolescent reproductive health as it relates to attitude, behaviour and values as well as the ability to make informed choices about their reproductive health. It seeks to educate adolescents about the life skills they need in order to make responsible decisions about their sexuality as well as the development of skills to cope with the challenges of growing up. It also seeks to equip young people with knowledge and skills in peer education so that they can educate their peers on.
