Khud Ko Pehchaano

Project Lead’s message:

Pakistan has a prominent youth bulge. 64% of our population is younger than 30 years of age. Pakistan needs to in cash dividends for this workforce, however, they need to be trained on issues of family health which also includes family planning. Once they enter married life, they must understand how to care for their wife and children’s health. Health especially Sexual and Reproductive Health (SRH) is an issue in Pakistan as young people do not have access to correct information. Hence, Greenstar in collaboration with Punjab Population Innovation Fund is working to create awareness and educate youth at the university and college level so that when they enter their practical life and get married, they have enough knowledge and awareness about SRH and family health matters.
