Describe the challenge you want to address:

Not enough knowledge on safe sex practices ( students starting from 3rd grade) Students and young adults should be taught about safe sex practices and diseases that one can catch if they are not careful. Also, inform people of all ages of the consequences of unsafe sex including, pregnancy, single parent, childcare expenses, not being able to afford/ Support self and child, possible diseases, etc.

What is the solution to the challenge?

Provide info session's on safe sex practices. Provide real life documentaries of people who have lived experience with STDs/HIV/AIDS. Also, hold open convos of young parent who are struggling and how having a child early has prevented them from achieving their goals and that with the knowledge , support they would've been more safe and mindful.
