What We Do

THEMATIC AREAS


1

HEALTH

We implement programs focused on disease prevention and improving adolescent health, with a particular emphasis on preventing teenage pregnancy. Our initiatives include comprehensive sexuality education and reproductive health awareness, designed to equip adolescents with accurate information and safe practices.

We also strengthen referral pathways for gender-based violence (GBV) to ensure timely support and protection for affected individuals. In addition, we provide adolescent-friendly health services such as counseling, referrals, and psychosocial support to promote overall well-being.

To enhance community-based prevention and response, we train peer educators who support outreach, awareness creation, and early intervention, ensuring a holistic approach to adolescent health and protection.

EDUCATION

Our priority is to increase access to quality education, which we believe is the foundation for personal and societal growth. We support learners to stay in school through mentorship, life and vocational skills training, career guidance, reading clubs, and debating clubs.

We are also building teacher capacity and providing learning materials to improve lesson delivery and learner outcomes.

We hosted the Kole Education Walk and supported a library initiative, alongside Good Deeds Day activities that included fruit tree planting and the donation of desks to improve learning environments in Kole District.

To support digital literacy, we also introduce simple examples of blockchain and cryptocurrency to help learners understand modern digital systems in practical, accessible ways.

GENDER EQUALITY​

  • Empowering Communities and Preventing GBV: The Meraki Action Initiative promotes gender equality by training stakeholders and leading community dialogues on harmful practices that lead to gender-based violence (GBV). We enhance support systems with effective referral pathways and work to eliminate the underlying factors sustaining GBV.
  • Supporting Community Leaders in Advocating for Girls’ Rights: MAI supports community leaders in challenging harmful gender practices and ensures that referral pathways are accessible and effective. Our programs tackle child marriage and teenage pregnancy, emphasize the importance of education, and focus on community rebuilding to advance gender equality.
  • Reducing School Dropouts and Mentoring Boys: We offer gender orientation sessions for stakeholders, parents, teachers, and community leaders to address rising school dropout rates among girls and promote gender equality in education. Our mentorship programs for boys aim to prevent SGBV by addressing risky behaviors such as alcoholism and drug abuse, fostering a culture of respect and dignity.
