Adolescent & Young People

SAYIT LETS TALK is a movement for young people, by young people, aimed at securing the lives of adolescents and young individuals by addressing their social, health, and economic well-being. Beyond Zero, through SAYIT LETS TALK, recognises the significance of investing in adolescents and young people for a sustainable future with improved health and education outcomes.

Bumb’INGOMSO (BI) is an HIV prevention project aimed at substantially reducing the incidence of HIV/AIDS among AGYW aged 15-29 years. Both of our AYP programmes are funded by the Global Fund and KfW, respectively.

Key to service delivery, safe spaces play an important role in accommodating afterschool and weekend provision of youth-friendly services. They improve access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH), as well as psychological and mental health support for AYP. 

The program focuses on Adolescents and Young People (AYP), both in and out of school, aged 10-24 years, with the goal of influencing risk reduction, behaviour change, and empowerment. It extends its services to other populations and delivers comprehensive HIV prevention and management services in targeted settings such as TVET and CET colleges and community safe spaces. Utilising a mobile health facility, SAYIT LETS TALK provides HIV and SRV related services at various points within communities, especially those near schools, TVETs, and safe spaces.
