Catch them Young: Digitize Sex Education for Girls
About
This project will give 150 girls aged 10-16 preloaded tablets with offline videos, audio guides in local languages, chatbots, and interactive quizzes. The materials cover puberty, contraception, consent, LGBTQIA+ inclusion, and how to stay safe from sexual abuse and unwanted pregnancy. Using local art, pictorial guides, and friendly tools, the girls will learn in private, safe, and respectful ways without needing internet access.
Need
Most adolescent girls in rural and poor areas have no access to clear, safe, or private information about puberty, their bodies, or how to avoid abuse and early pregnancy. Many schools skip these topics. As a result, girls often turn to unsafe sources or stay silent out of fear or shame.
Long term impact
The girls will grow up with practical knowledge to avoid abuse, protect their health, and make informed choices. The tools are reusable and can be passed on to help younger girls in the community. In time, the project will reduce fear, misinformation, and risk, helping more girls stay in school and avoid early pregnancy, marriages or harm.
