Adole Chat! — Demystifying Myths
Safe spaces. Real conversations. Informed futures.
PROGRAM OVERVIEW
The Adole Chat! Program supports adolescents aged 11–14 in marginalized non-formal schools within Mathare including MCEDO Beijing School, Codman Academy, Destiny Academy, and NECI Academy. It fills a critical gap in information, mentorship, and guidance often neglected in informal settlements.
Trained facilitators foster an interactive, peer-led environment where young learners feel secure. Weekly safe-space discussions unpack topics such as sexuality, leadership, life skills, financial literacy, and gender-based violence.
