Overview

Mission

The Pangea Network empowers women and youth through access to training and education in Kenya and the U.S. Motivated individuals are empowered with knowledge, skills and ongoing network of support in order to realize their potential and make positive, lifechanging contributions in the communities where they live.

What it reported doing in 2024

TUDAI and TUKAI - Pangea's Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health program continued its growth of this program by continuing the workshops for 375 girls and beginning to work with a cohort of 375 boys in three western counties of Kenya. The primary goal of the TUDAI and TUKAI programs is to empower adolescents to make informed decisions about their sexual and reproductive health, aiming to reduce vulnerabilities and ensure the protection of their rights. The initiative seeks to instill a shared sense of responsibility within communities to support girls and boys in completing their education and leading successful lives. The project first engaged community leaders and stakeholders to hear their perspectives on the topic and issues affecting young girls and boys and ensure the communities were ready to support these efforts. The team then invited parents and guardians to trainings to share the program and hear from them what they see the issues are and get their support for beginning dialogue around the topic with their children and others. The team continued to work with the trained female Peer Educators and trained 15 male Peer Educators from each of these communities to conduct a series of workshops with 375 boys. Workshops for all 750 were conducted during school breaks in April, August and December of 2024.
