Nancholi Youth Organisation (NAYO)
This July we began supporting the Nancholi Youth Organization (NAYO), aiming to improve access to Youth Friendly Health Services for the young people of Nancholi, Malawi. NAYO is an organization that has been working to combat HIV/AIDS and empower youth in their community since 2004. Currently there are only 3 HIV clinics in the region. They are all far away from Nancholi and are difficult for most young people to access. Minga will work with NAYO to train youth leaders in sexual and reproductive health, increase access to condoms and other contraceptives, conduct leadership and life skills training for youth leaders, and expand access to HIV testing and treatment.
