ACT With Her
The Act With Her (AWH) program takes a panoramic approach to partnering with adolescent girls, adolescent boys and their parents/caregivers in laying the health, education, economic, and social foundations that they need to thrive during the transition to adulthood. This upstream approach provides adolescents with support during one of the most crucial life stages, reaching them before or during some of the most common disruptors of their future well-being (such as forced marriage, pregnancy, or school dropout).
