AFYA YANGU – PZ/COMPASS 2022
About the project
This project is dedicated to advocating for improved access to sexual and reproductive health (SRH), HIV/AIDS prevention and treatment, and essential healthcare services specifically for street children and homeless youth in Dodoma and Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. These marginalized groups often face formidable barriers that prevent them from accessing adequate healthcare, thereby hindering the country’s progress towards achieving Universal Health Coverage by 2030.
