Abstract:

International consensus on the critical importance of the issue of adolescent sexual and reproductive health served as an impetus for the pioneering TeenWeb Kenya project, which involved more than 1000 youth from five public secondary schools in Nairobi. In exchange for their cooperation in the project, participating students gained access to the Internet and learned valuable computer skills. Based on the students' responses, the report advocates for the development of school-based programs on sexual and reproductive rights and health.
