Stories of Change : Parent Child Communication on Sexual and Reproductive Health in Zimbabwe
The Parent-Child Communication Program (PCC) was designed and piloted with the intention of increasing the comfort of parents and adolescents in discussing sensitive issues surrounding sexuality and reproductive health. The pilot was successfully conducted under the H4+ initiative in 2014-2015. The program has since been scaled up with funding from the Health Development Fund under the banner of the UNFPA Safe Guard Young People Program (SYP) which is co-funded by the Swiss Development Agency. The HDF is funded by the governments of Britain, Ireland, Sweden and the European Union.
This collection of real life stories of programmers and beneficiaries whose lives have been truly changed for the better showcases the success of the Parent to Child Communication program.
