We're proud to have recently wrapped up a project w/ UNICEF Rwanda. Between Dec & Feb, we shared 3 radio shows outlining common signs and symptoms of mental illness, where to access services in RW & what a journey to healing can look like. Why does youth mental health matter to you?
Happy #InternationalWomensDay ! DYK Ni Nyampinga has supported girls & young women for 11+ years? Or that we've reached 4.5 million Rwandans through our behaviour-change messages, including over 680k girls aged 10-19? Here's to supporting another generation of young #women!
At Ni Nyampinga, we're committed to our projects not just being for girls, but led by girls. We do this through our team of young researchers and journalists, who are trained to conduct interviews in their own communities, and compile and share stories via our media platforms!
