Young
Ladies Reflecting for Change Working Group is the 13th working Group
from Pioneer comprising young women aged 15-25.
The
group began in early 2010 after Pioneer youth realized that young ladies needed
privacy to discuss their own issues and their own agendas.
The
group’s young ladies identify other girls in the community and, with support
from GROOTS Kenya, they organized a training in reproductive health. Following that,
they became trainers of trainers (T.O.T.).
Their
mission is to empower young ladies to halt unwanted pregnancies and early
marriages until their
time
comes and they are ready. They do this through psychosocial support, behaviour
change, awareness and communication, peer learning exchanges and leadership
skills training.
