MASYAP Women Chairladies Meeting

These are routine meetings that are conducted quarterly with the aim of bringing all the 37 group leaders together and discuss the progress, challenges as well as find possible solutions.

During the women’s chairladies meeting, an HTS counsellor from Limbe clinic was invited to address the leaders on issues affecting girls. This was a deliberate move that aimed at equipping the women leaders with sexual behaviours that may lead the girls in their communities into contracting sexually Transmitted Infections (STIs) and unwanted pregnancies. In as much as MASYAP has a youth programmes department, it was necessary talking to the chairladies so that we work hand-in-hand in fighting against the spread of HIV/AIDS.
