Summary Description of your Organization

EYNS is a nonprofit organization dedicated to improving the health and well-being of adolescents and young people in Zambia. Our programs focus on comprehensive health services, including HIV prevention, tuberculosis (TB) awareness, sexual and reproductive health (SRH), and menstrual hygiene management.

We aim to empower youth with knowledge and resources to make informed decisions about their health, promoting HIV testing and treatment while addressing the stigma associated with living with HIV. Our initiatives emphasize the importance of SRH education, ensuring that adolescents understand their rights to access health services and receive accurate information. Additionally, we advocate for menstrual hygiene management as a crucial aspect of overall health, recognizing its impact on the well-being of young women and girls.

Through community outreach, peer education, and advocacy, EYNS strives to create a supportive environment that reduces stigma, promotes health-seeking behavior, and fosters a culture of awareness and respect for the rights of all individuals, particularly those living with HIV. Our goal is to cultivate informed, resilient, and empowered youth who can contribute to positive change in their communities.
