Health
Our goal at MYH is to ensure that healthcare is within reach for individuals residing in rural and impoverished areas of the city. Bridging the gap in health provision between inner city areas and rural communities is our long-term objective. We aim to achieve this by establishing qualified medical staff and health facilities at various levels within the community. Our plan involves collaborating with experienced medical professionals worldwide to enhance our capabilities and broaden our experiences, ultimately benefiting the communities we serve.

MENTAL HEALTH
The mental well-being of individuals in our community holds great importance, as it has a direct impact on their performance. We actively engage with the youth in our community through mental health talks and provide guidance and counseling services to both children and young people affiliated with MYH

END PERIOD SHAME CAMPAIGN
To eliminate the stigma surrounding menstruation, MYH initiated an end period shame campaign. This campaign promotes the idea that it is normal for girls and women to have their periods and carry on with their daily activities without embarrassment. Furthermore, we educate boys on the importance of supporting and understanding the female reproductive system, emphasizing that menstruation should not be regarded as shameful.

PEER-TO-PEER HEALTH EDUCATION
In addition to this, we offer peer-to-peer health education, particularly in the area of sex education. Our aim is to encourage the youth to embrace their sexuality while respecting both their own bodies and the bodies of others. It involves the exchange of health-related information, advice, and support among individuals who have similar backgrounds or experiences. Due to shared experiences peer educators as seen role models and its easy for them to gain the trust of their peers making it easy for the youth to harnesses the knowledge and experiences of individuals to promote health and well-being among their peers.
