Sister2Sister
Despite advancements in the HIV response, adolescent girls and young women (AGYW) in Eastern and Southern Africa remain highly affected. The Kenya Adolescent SRH policy and guidelines aim to improve Reproductive Health access for youth, but demand and supply gaps persist. These particularly affect marginalized AGYW, including those with disabilities, young mothers, and HIV-positive young women

Project design
The project will strengthen AGYW support groups in Nairobi to address SRHR and nutritional vulnerabilities. It plans to develop a community social accountability tool to enhance service access and document AGYW experiences in SRHR, Nutrition, and HIV through case studies.
Impact
The Sister2Sister project has increased knowledge among young mothers in areas like mental health, sexual health, and nutrition. It has also improved access to reproductive health services and has been engaging young mothers from diverse backgrounds, including those with disabilities, in its activities.
