Advocating for Adolescent Access to Contraceptives

After his 15-year-old daughter gave birth, Daniel Otieno overcame taboos on discussing sex with his children to become an advocate for youth access to reproductive health services and contraceptives. Jhpiego, with funding from Merck for Mothers and in partnership with the Kenya Red Cross, launched the G-Amini project in 2016 to empower adolescents and help them safely transition into healthy childbearing and fully realize their potential to build a brighter future for themselves.
