Youth in rural areas is confronted with serious problems liked to basic health, as well as unwanted pregnancy and sexually transmitted diseases, including AIDS. We are lacking financial resources but have to bring in our humble contribution in order to try to fight the plagues that seriously block the development of these areas.
