Sons for Girls and Women
There are several obstacles that adolescent females must overcome, which may harm their ability to finish school or their reproductive and sexual health, Girls' lack of access to sanitary goods or embarrassment about menstruation might compound these difficulties. This initiative is intended to determine whether giving Eldoret higher education girls access to sanitary products and sex education might help to reduce the severity of these issues.
Case Study
Kenyan adolescents who may not be able to purchase or otherwise get condoms are the focus of the government's free distribution of male condoms
, which aims to limit the spread of HIV and address the issue of unwanted pregnancy in the country. More than that, the Kenyan Ministry of Health has actively promoted the implementation of the National Adolescent Sexual and Reproductive Health policy across all care settings in coordination with policymakers and civil society groups

Adolescent girls' lack of access to adequate reproductive healthcare in Kenya is a serious public health concern that needs further attention. This research attempts to fill this void by examining the needs of teenage girls in Kenya by interviewing them and analyzing qualitative data from the White Ribbon Alliance's What Women Want survey. This secondary study of qualitative surveys and interviews is meant to add to the existing body of knowledge by examining how teenage girls understand excellent reproductive health and what can be done to improve their care
More and more research shows that providing comprehensive reproductive health care to adolescents is associated with better health-seeking behaviors, higher rates of birth control use, and better overall health outcomes. Pregnancy, menstruation, and sanitation are only tangentially addressed in other research, suggesting a lack of coordination and poor policy implementation. Adolescents and young adults are not considered credible sources; therefore, school-based initiatives to improve menstrual health hygiene have not been widely embraced. Nevertheless, they are the most critical players in their health.
